Hive事务表转换为非事务表

环境：hive3.1.0

由于建表时默认会建为非事务表
CREATE TABLE bucket_text_table2(column1 string,column2 string,column3 int) CLUSTERED BY (column3) into 5 BUCKETS STORED AS TEXTFILE;

执行完成后，查看默认建表语句：

复制代码

+----------------------------------------------------+

其中表的transactional被设置为true，代表表为事务表

尝试通过alter table set properties来进行修改

复制代码

修改结果ERROR，看来需要同时修改transactional_properties属性值，重新调整

Cannot convert an ACID table to non-ACID 很明显，不支持将事务表改变为非事务表。

我在以上表转换时，表中是有数据的，那么如果是空表是否还支持事务表转换至非事务表呢？测试后发现也不行，那么如果要将事务表转为非事务表怎么办呢？

创建一个新的非事务表。
将数据从原事务表导入到新的非事务表。
如果需要，你可以删除原事务表。
