[jira] [Commented] (SPARK-20236) Overwrite a partitioned data
source table should only overwrite related partitions
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-20236?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16647468#comment-16647468 ]

---------------------------------------
Hello,
Is the issue with saveAsTable confirmed as a bug? Any plans to change that?
Thanks in advance for any info

> Key: SPARK-20236
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-20236
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: SQL
> Affects Versions: 2.2.0
> Reporter: Wenchen Fan
> Assignee: Wenchen Fan
> Priority: Major
> Labels: releasenotes
> Fix For: 2.3.0

> 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.
