Override hadoop's mapreduce.fileoutputcommitter.marksuccessfuljobs in oozie
Hive unfortunately overrides this capability by setting it's own NullOutputComitter:
conf.setOutputCommitter(NullOutputCommitter.class);see
src/shims/src/0.20/java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/shims/Hadoop20Shims.javasrc/shims/src/common-secure/java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/shims/HadoopShimsSecure.javaLooks like you'll have to create the flag manually. We have filed HIVE-3700 for this.
You can add 'dfs' command to your hive script, like
dfs -touchz '$table_base_path'/dt='${partition}'/_SUCCESS

I ran into the same issue and ended up using a shell action to create the flag.
