Hi, Thanks for your suggestion. I tried this and I get the following error "Attempt to do update or delete on table tmp that does not use an AcidOutputFormat or is not bucketed". I googled about it and found this link http://unmeshasreeveni.blogspot.in/2014/11/updatedeleteinsert-in-hive-0140.html. This suggests changing hive configurations which are not possible immediately. Is there anything else which you can suggest?
