Hi,

Reading the wiki on dynamic partition, there is best practice example to solve
the issue of creating too many dynamic partitions on a specific node. However,
the query does not work.
(http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/Hive/Tutorial#Dynamic-partition_Insert)


Is this form of query support?


FROM table_a
INSERT OVERWRITE TABLE table_b PARTITION(dt)
SELECT * FROM (
SELECT *, dt
DISTRIBUTE BY dt
) T;

Thanks,
--wil

    Not sure about that, but this is supported:

    FROM (SELECT *, dt from table_a DISTRIBUTE BY dt) T
    INSERT OVERWRITE TABLE table_b PARTITION(dt)
    SELECT * ;

    Thanks, the query works as expected. I guess the query on the wiki is out of
    date.

    Not sure about that, but this is supported:

    FROM (SELECT *, dt from table_a DISTRIBUTE BY dt) T
    INSERT OVERWRITE TABLE table_b PARTITION(dt)
    SELECT * ;
