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

from HIVE-18131, X locks is acquired.
For 3.1, should make this use IOW and create an empty base_x.

> How should this work?  Should it work like Insert Overwrite T select * from T where 1=2?
> This should create a new empty base_x/ and thus operate w/o violating Snapshot Isolation semantics.
> This makes sense for specific partition or unpartitioned table.  What about "Truncate T" where T is partitioned?  Is the expectation to wipe out all partition info or to make each partition empty?
