> When we overwrite a partitioned data source table, currently Spark will truncate the entire table to write new data, or truncate a bunch of partitions according to the given static partitions.
> For example, {{INSERT OVERWRITE tbl ...}} will truncate the entire table, {{INSERT OVERWRITE tbl PARTITION (a=1, b)}} will truncate all the partitions that starts with {{a=1}}.
> This behavior is kind of reasonable as we can know which partitions will be overwritten before runtime. However, hive has a different behavior that it only overwrites related partitions, e.g. {{INSERT OVERWRITE tbl SELECT 1,2,3}} will only overwrite partition {{a=2, b=3}}, assuming {{tbl}} has only one data column and is partitioned by {{a}} and {{b}}.
> It seems better if we can follow hive's behavior.
