--------------------------------

             Summary: Inserting data into Hive table from a query, when the query is a partitioned table and select * ,will generate a SemanticException
                 Key: HIVE-4032
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-4032
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Query Processor
    Affects Versions: 0.10.0
            Reporter: caofangkun
            Priority: Minor


Inserting data into Hive table from a query , when the query is : select * from a_partitioned_table, will throw a SemanticException .
It seems that "*" contains the virtual partition columns.

drop table if exists zr_test;
create table if not exists zr_test (key string, value string) partitioned by (dt string);

drop table if exists zr_test_1;
create table if not exists zr_test_1 (key string, value string) partitioned by (dt string);

--Query One 
explain
insert into table zr_test partition (dt='20130217') select key, value from zr_test_1 where dt='20130217';

--Query Two
explain
insert into table zr_test partition (dt='20130217') select * from zr_test_1 where dt='20130217';

Ouery One works well, bug Query Two failed with the following information:
FAILED: SemanticException [Error 10044]: Line 2:18 Cannot insert into target table because column number/types are different ''20130217'': Table insclause-0 has 2 columns, but query has 3 columns.
