error when inserting data to a partitioned table in Hive

Question

I am seeing an error when I try to insert data into a partitioned table in hive, here is the details:

The table:

CREATE　TABLE partitionedemp(emp_no int, birth_date string, first_name string, last_name string) Partitioned By(gender string, hire_date string) stored as sequencefile;

The data looks like below:

The insert script:

insert into table partitionedemp partition(gender, hire_date) select emp_no, birth_date, first_name, last_name, gender, hire_date from emp;

Here is the error I received:

FAILED: SemanticException [Error 10096]: Dynamic partition strict mode requires at least one static partition column. To turn this off set hive.exec.dynamic.partition.mode=nonstrict

I followed some online suggestions by executing the following two lines first:

SET hive.exec.dynamic.partition = true;
SET hive.exec.dynamic.partition.mode = nonstrict;

And here is the new error message I received:

AT the end it says:

FAILED: Execution Error, return code 2 from org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.mr.MapRedTask
MapReduce Jobs Launched: 
Stage-Stage-1: Map: 1   Cumulative CPU: 14.39 sec   HDFS Read: 0 HDFS Write: 0 FAIL
Total MapReduce CPU Time Spent: 14 seconds 390 msec

Updated: I followed the suggestion below by @leftjoin, and here is the new update, still not working. Any missing or wrong scripting?

Answer 1

Follow suggestions in the exception message and increase these values:

For example

set hive.exec.max.dynamic.partitions=100000;  
set hive.exec.max.dynamic.partitions.pernode=10000;

And I suggest you to reduce the number of partitions if possible. Remove gender, it will reduce the number of partitions. Too many small files is not good idea for hadoop
