分区建表分为2种,一种是单分区,也就是说在表文件夹目录下只有一级文件夹目录。另外一种是多分区,表文件夹下出现多文件夹嵌套模式。
a. 单分区建表语句:create table day_table (id int, content string) partitioned by (dt string);单分区表,按天分区,在表结构中存在id,content,dt三列。
b. 双分区建表语句:create table day_hour_table (id int, content string) partitioned by (dt string, hour string);双分区表,按天和小时分区,在表结构中新增加了dt和hour两列。
表文件夹目录示意图(多分区表):
添加分区表语法(表已创建,在此基础上添加分区):
ALTER TABLE table_name ADD partition_spec [ LOCATION 'location1' ] partition_spec [ LOCATION 'location2' ] ... partition_spec: : PARTITION (partition_col = partition_col_value, partition_col = partiton_col_value, ...)
用户可以用 ALTER TABLE ADD PARTITION 来向一个表中增加分区。当分区名是字符串时加引号。例:
ALTER TABLE day_table ADD PARTITION (dt='2008-08-08', hour='08') location '/path/pv1.txt' PARTITION (dt='2008-08-08', hour='09') location '/path/pv2.txt';
7、. 删除分区语法:
ALTER TABLE table_name DROP partition_spec, partition_spec,...
用户可以用 ALTER TABLE DROP PARTITION 来删除分区。分区的元数据和数据将被一并删除。例:
ALTER TABLE day_hour_table DROP PARTITION (dt='2008-08-08', hour='09');
数据加载进分区表中语法:
LOAD DATA [LOCAL] INPATH 'filepath' [OVERWRITE] INTO TABLE tablename [PARTITION (partcol1=val1, partcol2=val2 ...)]
例:
LOAD DATA INPATH '/user/pv.txt' INTO TABLE day_hour_table PARTITION(dt='2008-08- 08', hour='08'); LOAD DATA local INPATH '/user/hua/*' INTO TABLE day_hour partition(dt='2010-07- 07');
当数据被加载至表中时,不会对数据进行任何转换。Load操作只是将数据复制至Hive表对应的位置。数据加载时在表下自动创建一个目录,文件存放在该分区下。
基于分区的查询的语句:
SELECT day_table.* FROM day_table WHERE day_table.dt>= '2008-08-08';
查看分区语句:
hive> show partitions day_hour_table; OK dt=2008-08-08/hour=08 dt=2008-08-08/hour=09 dt=2008-08-09/hour=09
