Raghotham Murthy commented on HIVE-718:
---------------------------------------

Can the unique name problem be solved at the file system level via a mktemp 
like method? Then you wouldnt have to depend on the metastore to reliably 
maintain unique ids (for example, what happens when the metastore uses an 
in-memory db and is restarted).

> 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');
