validation failed: Cannot insert into target table because number/types are different.

Hi,

I get this message from a hive recipe on a partitioned dataset stored on HDFS:
validation failed: Cannot insert into target table because number/types are different "2018-02": Table inclause-0 has 27 columns, but query has 28 columns.

my query is:

SELECT * FROM MyTable

Hi Mattsco, 

You can't use SELECT * on partitioned dataset because the partition column must not be in the query.
