writing to bucketed table in MR job

[Brian Jeltema <br...@digitalenvoy.net>]

I have a table that I would like to define to be bucketed, but I also need to write
to new partitions using HCatOutputFormat (or similar) from an MR job. I’m getting
an unsupported operation error when I try to do that. Is there some way to make this work?
I suppose I could write to a temporary table, then use a Hive query to insert into the
target table, but I’d like to avoid the extra overhead.

Thanks in advance
Brian
