一.查看分区命令
1.show partitions xxx
hive> show partitions xxx;
OK
day=20150908
day=20151020
day=20151021
day=20151022
...
day=20160318
Time taken: 0.139 seconds, Fetched: 144 row(s)
由此可见上述命令显示了基本的分区情况
2.desc xxx partition(day=20160315
hive> desc xxx partition(day=20160315);
OK
list_time string
cookie string
device_id string
os string
device_brand string
search_id string
search_guid string
...
filter string
day string
# Partition Information
# col_name data_type comment
day string
Time taken: 0.359 seconds, Fetched: 36 row(s)
此命令显示了表结构与partition information
3.
hive> desc extended ods_search_log_app partition(day=20160315);
OK
list_time string
cookie string
device_id string
os string
device_brand string
search_id string
search_guid string
...
coupon string
filter string
day string
# Partition Information
# col_name data_type comment
day string

多了个Detailed Partition Information,最初使用这条命令的初衷,是查找分区对应的location,使用这条命令可以找到
