Todd Lipcon commented on HIVE-718:
----------------------------------
Here's a proposal: How would you guys feel about an addition to the metastore
API that is as simple as:
string get_unique_id()
The metastore would simply keep an autoincrement field to hand these out. We
can then use these safely to allocate race-free names to clients. Should be
straightforward and a lot more simple than any kind of lock/lease based
mechanism.

> The bug can be reproduced as following. Note that it only happens for
> partitioned tables. The select after the first load returns nothing, while
> the second returns the data correctly.
> insert.txt in the current local directory contains 3 lines: "a", "b" and "c".
> {code}
> > create table tmp_insert_test (value string) stored as textfile;
> > load data local inpath 'insert.txt' into table tmp_insert_test;
> > select * from tmp_insert_test;
> a
> b
> c
> > create table tmp_insert_test_p ( value string) partitioned by (ds string)
> > stored as textfile;
> > load data local inpath 'insert.txt' into table tmp_insert_test_p partition
> > (ds = '2009-08-01');
> > select * from tmp_insert_test_p where ds= '2009-08-01';
> > load data local inpath 'insert.txt' into table tmp_insert_test_p partition
> > (ds = '2009-08-01');
> > select * from tmp_insert_test_p where ds= '2009-08-01';
> a 2009-08-01
> b 2009-08-01
