>          Components: SQL
>    Affects Versions: 2.1.1

> It is not possible to specify target table columns in static partition insert.
> As a result SQL parser will throw an error if fields from sub select does not match target table fields.
> For example for the following table
> CREATE TABLE my_table(col1 STRING, col2 STRING, col3 STRING) PARTITIONED BY (pcol STRING);
> following insert will failed due to different number of fields in select and in target table:
> INSERT OVERWRITE TABLE my_table
> PARTITION(pcol='TEST')
> SELECT 'A' as a, 'B'as b;
> Proposed change adds support for the following syntax:
> INSERT OVERWRITE TABLE my_table
> PARTITION(pcol='TEST')
> *(col1, col3)*
> SELECT 'A' as a, 'B'as b;
> Issue is marked with Trivial priority as it has workaround such as using dynamic partition insert.
