Adding partitions to the external table in hive takes a lot of time
问题 I would like to know what is the best possible way(s) of adding partitions to the external table. I have a external table on S3 in hive with the partition as vehicle=/date=/hr= Now new vehicle can be added at any time of day and there will be vehicles which will not have data for a couple of hours in a day or for couple of days. Few possible solutions - msck reapir table : It takes a lot of time - Add partition via script : I may not know when new vehicle gets created or which hour data is
