             Summary: LoadSemanticAnalyzer ignores previous partition location if inserting into partition that already exists
                 Key: HIVE-8719
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-8719
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Query Processor
    Affects Versions: 0.14.0
            Reporter: Sushanth Sowmyan


LOAD DATA INSERT INTO seems to be broken currently for partitions that do not use hive's native directory structure naming scheme, thus ignoring any location previously set by an ALTER TABLE ADD PARTITION ... LOCATION ... command.

Here is a simple reproducer:

{noformat}
echo 1 > /tmp/data1.txt
hive -e "create external table testpart(id int) partitioned by (date string) location '/tmp/testpart';"
hive -e "alter table testpart add partition(date='2014-09-16')  location '/tmp/testpart/20140916';"
hive -e "describe formatted testpart partition(date='2014-09-16') ;" | egrep '/tmp/testpart/(date=.?)?2014-?09-?16' > /tmp/a
hive -e "load data local inpath '/tmp/data1.txt' into table testpart partition(date='2014-09-16');"
hive -e "describe formatted testpart partition(date='2014-09-16') ;" | egrep '/tmp/testpart/(date=.?)?2014-?09-?16' > /tmp/b
diff /tmp/a /tmp/b
hadoop fs -ls /tmp/testpart/
{noformat}
