title: LeaseExpiredException: No lease error on HDFS (Failed to close file)
body: <p>I am trying to load large data into a dynamically partitioned table in HIVE.</p>
  
  <p>I keep on getting this error. If I load data without partitioning, it works fine. If I work with smaller data set (with partition), it works fine as well. But for large dataset I start getting this error</p>
  
  <p>The Error:</p>
