Hive重写表数据丢失风险记录

若在Hive中执行INSERT OVERWRITE重写同一个表的数据时，有可能会造成数据丢失。

如 INSERT OVERWRITE TABLE table_name SELECT * FROM table_name

---

一、新建一张分区表

create table test_chj_cols (id string, name string, age string) partitioned by (ds string) stored as textfile;

二、插入一条记录

insert into test_chj_cols partition (ds='20181224') values ('1','chj','18');

三、确认表数据及结构

> select * from test_chj_cols;
OK
test_chj_cols.id        test_chj_cols.name      test_chj_cols.age       test_chj_cols.ds
1       chj     18      20181224
 

> desc formatted test_chj_cols partition (ds='20181224');
OK
col_name        data_type       comment
# col_name              data_type               comment

ds                      string

alter table test_chj_cols replace columns (id string, name string, money string, age string);
 

> desc formatted test_chj_cols;
OK
col_name        data_type       comment
# col_name              data_type               comment

五、重写数据

insert overwrite table test_chj_cols partition (ds='20181224') select id,name,age,name from

test_chj_cols;

六、age字段数据丢失

> select * from test_chj_cols;
OK
test_chj_cols.id        test_chj_cols.name      test_chj_cols.age       test_chj_cols.money     test_chj_cols.ds
1       chj     NULL    NULL    20181224
