hadoop - HIVE-将选择语句的结果作为多个记录插入到配置单元表中，而不会覆盖现有内容

Question

我有一个来自以下命令的表:

CREATE TABLE treatment_costs AS SELECT * FROM 
(SELECT r.patient_id, r.transaction_date, r.paid_transaction_amount, o.dob, o.department_name, o.reason_of_visit FROM ReceiptTransactions r
LEFT OUTER JOIN OpdPatientQ o ON (r.patient_id = o.patient_id)
);

我现在想将今天(在给定日期)插入的所有记录插入上表。为此，我写了:

INSERT INTO TABLE treatment_costs SELECT * FROM
(SELECT r.patient_id, r.transaction_date, r.paid_transaction_amount, o.dob, o.department_name, o.reason_of_visit FROM ReceiptTransactions r WHERE timestamp_column = today_date
LEFT OUTER JOIN OpdPatientQ o ON (r.patient_id = o.patient_id)
);

这是在表中插入多个查询的正确方法吗？

编辑1:
例如，表treatment_costs的内容是这些行:

patient_id, transaction_date, paid_transaction_amount, dob, department_name, reason_of_visit
001 01/01/2014 30000 01/01/1985 Cardiology reason_1
002 01/01/2014 35000 01/01/1975 Cardiology reason_2
003 02/01/2014 40000 01/01/1965 Oncology   reason_3
004 02/01/2014 30000 01/01/1985 Cardiology reason_4
005 02/01/2014 20000 01/01/1975 Gynecology reason_5

现在我的疑问是我的插入查询中的select语句:

SELECT * FROM
(SELECT r.patient_id, r.transaction_date, r.paid_transaction_amount, o.dob, o.department_name, o.reason_of_visit FROM ReceiptTransactions r WHERE timestamp_column = today_date
LEFT OUTER JOIN OpdPatientQ o ON (r.patient_id = o.patient_id)
);

，例如，给出以下结果:

patient_id, transaction_date, paid_transaction_amount, dob, department_name, reason_of_visit
011 01/01/2015 30000 01/01/1986 Cardiology reason_11
012 01/01/2015 35000 01/01/1976 Cardiology reason_21
013 02/01/2015 40000 01/01/1966 Oncology   reason_31
014 02/01/2015 30000 01/01/1986 Cardiology reason_41
015 02/01/2015 20000 01/01/1976 Gynecology reason_51

而且，执行插入查询后我表的内容是否如下所示？

patient_id, transaction_date, paid_transaction_amount, dob, department_name, reason_of_visit
001 01/01/2014 30000 01/01/1985 Cardiology reason_1
002 01/01/2014 35000 01/01/1975 Cardiology reason_2
003 02/01/2014 40000 01/01/1965 Oncology   reason_3
004 02/01/2014 30000 01/01/1985 Cardiology reason_4
005 02/01/2014 20000 01/01/1975 Gynecology reason_5
011 01/01/2015 30000 01/01/1986 Cardiology reason_11
012 01/01/2015 35000 01/01/1976 Cardiology reason_21
013 02/01/2015 40000 01/01/1966 Oncology   reason_31
014 02/01/2015 30000 01/01/1986 Cardiology reason_41
015 02/01/2015 20000 01/01/1976 Gynecology reason_51

Answer 1

摘自Hive Language Manual，

INSERT INTO will append to the table or partition, keeping the existing data intact.

INSERT INTO TABLE ...

不会覆盖表中已经存在的任何数据。您拥有的INSERT查询将运行MapReduce(基于引擎类型)作业，该作业会将新生成的文件写入表位置，而不会删除现有文件。
