[jira] [Created] (HIVE-7092) Insert overwrite should not delete the original directory

Szehon Ho created HIVE-7092:
-------------------------------

             Summary: Insert overwrite should not delete the original directory
                 Key: HIVE-7092
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-7092
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Szehon Ho
            Assignee: Szehon Ho


Today the implementation of "insert overwrite" table or partition deletes the entire directory of the table/partition recursively using the HDFS shell (-rmr) and then re-creates it.

This makes it get rid of certain user-set attributes of the directory, like permission, owner, group, and will become more important with introduction of HDFS extended-ACL's.
