> Hello, 
> the specific scenario when this can happen:
>  - the execution engine is Tez;
>  - speculative execution is on;
>  - the query inserts into a table and the last step is a UNION sql clause;
> The problem is that Tez creates an extra layer of subdirectories when there is a UNION. Later, when deduplicating, Hive doesn't take that into account and only deduplicates folders but not the files inside.
> So for a query like this:
> {code:sql}
> insert overwrite table union_all
>     select * from union_first_part
> union all
>     select * from union_second_part;
> {code}
> The folder structure afterwards will be like this (a possible example):
> {code:java}
> .../union_all/HIVE_UNION_SUBDIR_1/000000_0
> .../union_all/HIVE_UNION_SUBDIR_1/000000_1
> .../union_all/HIVE_UNION_SUBDIR_2/000000_1
> {code}
> The attached patch increases the number of folder levels that Hive will check recursively for duplicates (recursively) when we have a UNION in Tez.
> Feel free to reach out if you have any questions :).
