unable to create partitions in hive - hadoop

Question

I am unable to create the partition into a new table from the table which is already present on hive.
The query that I am running on hive after the Table creation is
INSERT INTO TABLE ba_data.PNR_INFO1_partitioned PARTITION(pnr_create_dt) select * from pnr_info1_external;
The error that I am getting is
Caused by: org.apache.hadoop.ipc.RemoteException(java.io.IOException): File /user/hive/warehouse/ba_data.db/pnr_info1_partitioned/.hive-staging_hive_2016-08-09_17-47-47_508_8688474345886508021-1/_task_tmp.-ext-10002/pnr_create_dt=18%2F12%2F2013/_tmp.000000_3 could only be replicated to 0 nodes instead of minReplication (=1). There are 1 datanode(s) running and no node(s) are excluded in this operation.

After I browsed and found that namenode,datanode folders needs to be deleted and namenode should be formatted.I have done that sanitary task as well.But still the same error I am getting.
Also I have set the replication factor to 1 and all the Hadoop processes are running well.
Please suggest me how to proceed in order to get away from this issue.Your suggestions are much appreciated.

Answer 1

first you need to create
1. table with all field
2. load data into table
3. create table with partition column with their type
4. copy data from first table to partition table

Answer 2

I think the dynamic partition needs to be enabled. following works.
set hive.exec.dynamic.partition.mode=nonstrict;
create table parttable (id int) partitioned by (partcolumn string)
row format delimited fields terminated by '\t'
lines terminated by '\n'
;
create table source_table (id int,partcolumn string)
row format delimited fields terminated by '\t'
lines terminated by '\n'
;
insert into source_table values (1,'Chicago');
insert into source_table values (2,'Chicago');
insert into source_table values (3,'Orlando');
set hive.exec.dynamic.partition=true;
insert overwrite table parttable partition(partcolumn)
select id,partcolumn from source_table;
