Description

General Info

Hive version : 2.3.3

commit 3f7dde31aed44b5440563d3f9d8a8887beccf0be
Author: Daniel Dai <[e-mail]>
Date:   Wed Mar 28 16:46:29 2018 -0700

    Preparing for 2.3.3 release

Hadoop version: 2.7.2.

Engine

hive> set hive.execution.engine;
hive.execution.engine=mr

STEP 1. Create test data

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS customer_target;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS customer_source;

CREATE TABLE customer_target (id STRING, first_name STRING, last_name STRING, age INT) clustered by (id) into 2 buckets stored as ORC TBLPROPERTIES ('transactional'='true');

insert into customer_target values ('001', 'John', 'Smith', 45), ('002', 'Michael', 'Watson', 27), ('003', 'Den', 'Brown', 33);
SELECT id, first_name, last_name, age  FROM customer_target;

+------+-------------+------------+------+
|  id  | first_name  | last_name  | age  |
+------+-------------+------------+------+
| 002  | Michael     | Watson     | 27   |
| 001  | John        | Smith      | 45   |
| 003  | Den         | Brown      | 33   |
+------+-------------+------------+------+

CREATE TABLE customer_source (id STRING, first_name STRING, last_name STRING, age INT);

insert into customer_source values ('001', 'Dorothi', 'Hogward', 77), ('007', 'Alex', 'Bowee', 1), ('088', 'Robert', 'Dowson', 25);
SELECT id, first_name, last_name, age  FROM customer_source;

+------+-------------+------------+------+
|  id  | first_name  | last_name  | age  |
+------+-------------+------------+------+
| 088  | Robert      | Dowson     | 25   |
| 001  | Dorothi     | Hogward    | 77   |
| 007  | Alex        | Bowee      | 1    |
+------+-------------+------------+------+

STEP 2. Merge data

merge into customer_target trg using customer_source src on src.id = trg.id when matched then update set first_name = src.first_name, last_name = src.last_name when not matched then insert values (src.id, src.first_name, src.last_name, src.age);
