HIVE - Cannot partition a table: semantic exception failure - hadoop

I'm not able to import data on partitioned table in Hive.
Here is how I create the table
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS title_ratings
(
tconst STRING,
averageRating DOUBLE,
numVotes INT
)
ROW FORMAT DELIMITED
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '\t'
STORED AS TEXTFILE
TBLPROPERTIES("skip.header.line.count"="1");
And then I load the data into it : LOAD DATA INPATH '/title.ratings.tsv.gz' INTO TABLE eval_hive_db.title_ratings;
It works fine till here. Now I want to create a dynamic partitioned table. First of all, I setup theses params:
SET hive.exec.dynamic.partition=true;
SET hive.exec.dynamic.partition.mode=nonstrict;
I now create my partitioned table:
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS title_ratings_part
(
tconst STRING,
numVotes INT
)
PARTITIONED BY (averageRating DOUBLE)
ROW FORMAT DELIMITED
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '\n'
STORED AS TEXTFILE;
insert into title_ratings_part partition(title_ratings) select tconst, averageRating, numVotes from title_ratings;
(I also tried with numVotes instead by the way)
And I receive this error: FAILED: ValidationFailureSemanticException eval_hive_db.title_ratings_part: Partition spec {title_ratings=null} contains non-partition columns
Someone can help me please?
Ideally, I want to partition my table by averageRating (less than 2, between 2 and 4, and greater than 4)

You can run this command to check if there are null values or not.
select count(averageRating) from title_ratings group by averageRating;
Now, if there are null values in this column then you will get the count, which you have to fill then apply partitioning again.

Partition column is stored as last column in a table so while inserting you need to maintain correct order in select statement.
Pls change order of columns in select.
insert into title_ratings_part partition(title_ratings)
Select
Tconst,
numVotes,
averageRating --orderwise this should always be last column
from title_ratings

Unable to load data in Hive partitioned table

I have created a table in Hive with the following query:
create table if not exists employee(CASE_NUMBER String,
CASE_STATUS String,
CASE_RECEIVED_DATE DATE,
DECISION_DATE DATE,
EMPLOYER_NAME STRING,
PREVAILING_WAGE_PER_YEAR BIGINT,
PAID_WAGE_PER_YEAR BIGINT,
order_n int) partitioned by (JOB_TITLE_SUBGROUP STRING) row format delimited fields terminated by ',';
I tried loading data into the create table using below query:
LOAD DATA INPATH '/salary_data.csv' overwrite into table employee partition (JOB_TITLE_SUBGROUP);
For the partitioned table, I have even set following configuration :
set hive.exec.dynamic.partition.mode=nonstrict;
set hive.exec.dynamic.partition=true;
But I am getting below error while executing the load query:
Your query has the following error(s):
Error while compiling statement: FAILED: SemanticException org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.metadata.HiveException: MetaException(message:Invalid partition key & values; keys [job_title_subgroup, ], values [])
Please help.
If you want to load data into a Hive partition, you have to provide the value of the partition itself in the LOAD DATA query. So in this case, your query would be something like this.
LOAD DATA INPATH '/salary_data.csv' overwrite into table employee partition (JOB_TITLE_SUBGROUP="Value");
Where "Value" is the name of the partition in which you are loading your data. The reason is because Hive will use "Value" to create the directory in which your .csv is going to be stored, which will be something like this: .../employee/JOB_TITLE_SUBGROUP=Value. I hope this helps.
Check the documentation for details on the LOAD DATA syntax.
EDITED
Since the table has dynamic partition, one solution would be loading the .csv into an external table (e.g. employee_external) and then execute an INSERT command like this:
INSERT OVERWRITE INTO TABLE employee PARTITION(JOB_TITLE_SUBGROUP)
SELECT CASE_NUMBER, CASE_STATUS, (...), JOB_TITLE_SUBGROUP
FROM employee_external
I might be little late to reply but can try below steps:
Set below properties first :
Ø set hive.exec.dynamic.partition.mode=nonstrict;
Ø set hive.exec.dynamic.partition=true;
Create temp table first:
CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE IF NOT EXISTS employee_temp(
ID STRING,
Name STRING,
Salary STRING)
ROW FORMAT DELIMITED
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'
tblproperties ("skip.header.line.count"="1");
Load Data in temporary table:
hive> LOAD DATA INPATH 'filepath/employee.csv' OVERWRITE INTO TABLE employee;
Create Partitioned Table:
CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE IF NOT EXISTS employee_part(
ID STRING,
Name STRING)
PARTITIONED BY (Salary STRING)
ROW FORMAT DELIMITED
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'
tblproperties ("skip.header.line.count"="1");
Load Data into partitioned table from intermediate / temp table:
INSERT OVERWRITE TABLE employee_part PARTITION (SALARY) SELECT * FROM employee;

How insert overwrite table in hive with diffrent where clauses?

I want to read a .tsv file from Hbase into hive. The file has a columnfamily, which has 3 columns inside: news, social and all. The aim is to store these columns in an table in hbase which has the columns news, social and all.
CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE IF NOT EXISTS topwords_logs (key String,
columnfamily String , wort String , col String, occurance int)ROW FORMAT
DELIMITED FIELDS TERMINATED BY '\t'STORED AS TEXTFILE LOCATION '/home
/hfu/Testdaten';
load data local inpath '/home/hfu/Testdaten/part-r-00000.tsv' into table topwords_logs;
CREATE TABLE newtopwords (columnall int, columnsocial int , columnnews int) PARTITIONED BY(wort STRING) STORED AS SEQUENCEFILE;
Here i created a external table, which contain the data from hbase. Further on I created a table with the 3 columns.
What i have tried so far is this:
insert overwrite table newtopwords partition(wort)
select occurance ,'1', '1' , wort from topwords_log;
This Code works fine, but i have for each column an extra where clause. How can I insert data like this?
insert overwrite table newtopwords partition(wort)
values(columnall,(select occurance from topwords_logs where col =' all')),(columnnews,( select occurance from topwords_logs where col =' news')) ,(columnsocial,( select occurance from topwords_logs where col =' social')),(wort,(select wort from topwords_log));
This code isnt working ->NoViableAltException.
On every example I just see Code, where they insert data without a Where clause. How can I insert Data with a Where clause?

Hive, Bucketing for the partitioned table

This is my script:
--table without partition
drop table if exists ufodata;
create table ufodata ( sighted string, reported string, city string, shape string, duration string, description string )
row format delimited
fields terminated by '\t'
Location '/mapreduce/hive/ufo';
--load my data in ufodata
load data local inpath '/home/training/downloads/ufo_awesome.tsv' into table ufodata;
--create partition table
drop table if exists partufo;
create table partufo ( sighted string, reported string, city string, shape string, duration string, description string )
partitioned by ( year string )
clustered by (year) into 6 buckets
row format delimited
fields terminated by '/t';
--by default dynamic partition is not set
set hive.exec.dynamic.partition=true;
set hive.exec.dynamic.partition.mode=nonstrict;
--by default bucketing is false
set hive.enforcebucketing=true;
--loading mydata
insert overwrite table partufo
partition (year)
select sighted, reported, city, shape, min, description, SUBSTR(TRIM(sighted), 1,4) from ufodata;
Error message:
FAILED: Error in semantic analysis: Invalid column reference
I tried bucketing for my partitioned table. If I remove "clustered by (year) into 6 buckets" the script works fine. How do I bucket the partitioned table
There is an important thing we should consider while doing bucketing in hive.
The same column name cannot be used for both bucketing and partitioning. The reason is as follows:
Clustering and Sorting happens within a partition. Inside each partition there will be only one value associated with the partition column(in your case it is year)therefore there will not any be any impact on clustering and sorting. That is the reason for your error....
You can use the below syntax to create bucketing table with partition.
CREATE TABLE bckt_movies
(mov_id BIGINT , mov_name STRING ,prod_studio STRING, col_world DOUBLE , col_us_canada DOUBLE , col_uk DOUBLE , col_aus DOUBLE)
PARTITIONED BY (rel_year STRING)
CLUSTERED BY(mov_id) INTO 6 BUCKETS;
when you're doing dynamic partition, create a temporary table with all the columns (including your partitioned column) and load data into temporary table.
create actual partitioned table with partition column. While you are loading data from temporary table the partitioned column should be in the last in the select clause.

Excluding the partition field from select queries in Hive

Suppose I have a table definition as follows in Hive(the actual table has around 65 columns):
CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE S.TEST (
COL1 STRING,
COL2 STRING
)
PARTITIONED BY (extract_date STRING)
ROW FORMAT DELIMITED FIELDS TERMINATED BY '\007'
LOCATION 'xxx';
Once the table is created, when I run hive -e "describe s.test", I see extract_date as being one of the columns on the table. Doing a select * from s.test also returns extract_date column values. Is it possible to exclude this virtual(?) column when running select queries in Hive.
Change this property
set hive.support.quoted.identifiers=none;
and run the query as
SELECT `(extract_date)?+.+` FROM <table_name>;
I tested it working fine.

Hive - facing challenge's in Dynamic partition error

Can any one guide me where I am doing mistake while doing dynamic partition.

SET hive.exec.dynamic.partition.mode=nonstrict;
insert overwrite table Production_peopledata
partition(country,state)
select firstname, secondname, salary, country, state from staging_peopledata;
If i execute the above command I am getting error as below.
FAILED: SemanticException [Error 10096]: Dynamic partition strict mode
requires atleast one static partition column. To turn this off set
hive.exec.dynamic.partition.mode=nonstrict
Can any one tell me where I am doing the mistake.
Can you please run below command on Hive Shell.
hive>set hive.exec.dynamic.partition.mode=nonstrict;
You need to set below properties:
set hive.exec.dynamic.partition=true;
set hive.exec.dynamic.partition.mode=nonstrict;
The column name want to partition on should not be part of the table definition. As the partition column is dynamically generated. While filling the data in the partitioned table the partitioned column should come from the source table.
Let's say we have EMP and EMP1 tables. EMP1 is the partitioned table which will get the data from the EMP table. Initially both of these tables are same. So first we need to create a partitioned column i.e. salpart. Then we will add this column in the source table which is EMP. After successful run we can see the partitioned files in user/hive/warehouse location. The above explanation is implemented as below:
load data local inpath '/home/cloudera/myemployeedata.txt' overwrite into table emp;
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS emp ( eid int, name String,
salary String, destination String,salpart string)
COMMENT "Employee details"
ROW FORMAT DELIMITED
FIELDS TERMINATED BY "\t"
LINES TERMINATED BY "\n"
STORED AS TEXTFILE;
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS emp1 ( eid int, name String,
salary String, destination String)
COMMENT "Employee details"
partitioned by (salpart string) {this column will values will come from a seperate table }
ROW FORMAT DELIMITED
FIELDS TERMINATED BY "\t"
LINES TERMINATED BY "\n"
STORED AS TEXTFILE;
Dynamic Partition:
set hive.exec.dynamic.partition=true;
set hive.exec.dynamic.partition.mode=nonstrict;
insert overwrite table emp1 partition(salpart) select eid,name,salary,destination,salpart from emp;
as per the error it seems that mode in still strict, for dynamic partitioning it need to be set to non strict
use below command
hive>set hive.exec.dynamic.partition.mode=nonstrict;
Once again try to do
Set hive.exec.dynamic.partition.mode=nonstrict
Sometimes in hive it happens even if you set this property it considers strict mode hence I suggest you to set this property once again
