creating partition in external table in hive

Question

I have successfully created and added Dynamic partitions in an Internal table in hive. i.e. by using following steps:

1-created a sourc

Answer 1

1. Set below property

set hive.exec.dynamic.partition=true

set hive.exec.dynamic.partition.mode=nonstrict

2. Create External partitioned table

create external table1 ( name string, age int, height int) location 'path/to/dataFile/in/HDFS';

3. Insert data to partitioned table from source table.

Basically , the process is same. its just that you create external partitioned table and provide HDFS path to table under which it will create and store partition.

Hope this helps.
