snappy compression & set parquet size not working on hive

[cathy zhu <cz...@gmail.com>]

I created a hive table, use insert select to load existing impala data to
hive table. I noticed 2 things.

1. The data size is more than twice the size of old data. Old data used
impala to do the compression.
2. No matter how large I set parquet block size, hive always generate
parquet files with similar file size.

I did this before inserting.

set hive.exec.dynamic.partition.mode=nonstrict;

SET parquet.column.index.access=true;

SET hive.merge.mapredfiles=true;

SET hive.exec.compress.output=true;

SET
mapred.output.compression.codec=org.apache.hadoop.io.compress.SnappyCodec;

SET mapred.output.compression.type=BLOCK;

SET dfs.block.size=445644800;

SET parquet.block.size=445644800;

Can anyone please point out what I did wrong? I'm using version Hive 1.1.0
Thank you!
