Description

When an existing HDFS based falcon feed is converted to HCatalog external table based feed, and falcon process workflow creates dynamic partitions, the underlying HDFS path format of partitions created by HCatalog is different than the original HDFS feed based format. This can break other applications that consume feed data directly from underlying HDFS location and expect a particular path layout.
