While inserting data into table hive threw the error "Dynamic partition cannot be the parent of a static partition '3'" using below query
INSERT INTO TABLE student_partition PARTITION(course , year = 3) SELECT name, id, course FROM student1 WHERE year = 3;
Please explain the reason..
回答1:
The reason of this Exception is because partitions are hierarchical folders. course
folder is upper level and year
is nested folders for each year.
When you creating partitions dynamically, upper folder should be created first (course) then nested year=3
folder.
You are providing year=3
partition in advance (statically), before course
is known yet.
Vice-versa is possible: Static parent partition and dynamic child partition.
In the HDFS partitions folders are like this:
/student_partition/course=chemistry/year=3
/student_partition/course=chemistry/year=4
/student_partition/course=philosophy/year=3
Static partition should exist. But it cannot exist if parent does not exist yet.
Alternatively you can make year
partition dynamic as well:
INSERT INTO TABLE student_partition PARTITION(course , year)
SELECT name, id, course, 3 as year --or just simply year
FROM student1 WHERE year = 3;
