Glad to hear that. 🙂 The "hive.stats.autogather" should be unrelated to this, it just controls whether Hive should gather statistics at the end of INSERT statements, disabling it just speeds up the insert query somewhat. If you see something weird or not working with that enabled, feel free to open a support case on our Support Portal. See this and all the hive configuration descriptions in the HiveConf.java source code. Cheers,  Miklos ... View more
