Inserting Data to a Directory That Does Not Exist

Scenario

This function applies to Hive.

With this function enabled, run the insert overwrite directory /path1/path2/path3... command to write a subdirectory. The permission of the /path1/path2 directory is 700, and the owner is the current user. If the /path3 directory does not exist, it is automatically created and data is written successfully.

This function is supported when hive.server2.enable.doAs is set to true in earlier versions. This version supports the function when hive.server2.enable.doAs is set to false.

The parameter adjustment of this function is the same as that of the custom parameters added in Writing a Directory into Hive with the Old Data Removed to the Recycle Bin.
