> LOAD DATA INSERT INTO seems to be broken currently for partitions that do not use hive's native directory structure naming scheme, thus ignoring any location previously set by an ALTER TABLE ADD PARTITION ... LOCATION ... command.
> Here is a simple reproducer:
> {noformat}
> echo 1 > /tmp/data1.txt
> hive -e "create external table testpart(id int) partitioned by (date string) location '/tmp/testpart';"
> hive -e "alter table testpart add partition(date='2014-09-16') location '/tmp/testpart/20140916';"
> hive -e "describe formatted testpart partition(date='2014-09-16') ;" | egrep '/tmp/testpart/(date=.?)?2014-?09-?16' > /tmp/a
> hive -e "load data local inpath '/tmp/data1.txt' into table testpart partition(date='2014-09-16');"
> hive -e "describe formatted testpart partition(date='2014-09-16') ;" | egrep '/tmp/testpart/(date=.?)?2014-?09-?16' > /tmp/b
> diff /tmp/a /tmp/b
> hadoop fs -ls /tmp/testpart/
> {noformat}
> Basically, what happens is that after the ALTER TABLE ADD PARTITION ... LOCATION, the location is "/tmp/testpart/20140916". After the LOAD DATA has run, the partition location becomes "/tmp/testpart/date=2014-09-16/". Any data previously present in the other location will then be ignored as well.
