\title{Construct Hive partitioning}
\usage{
hive_partition(..., null_fallback = NULL, segment_encoding = "uri")
}
\arguments{
\item{...}{named list of \link[=data-type]{data types}, passed to \code{\link[=schema]{schema()}}}

\item{null_fallback}{character to be used in place of missing values (\code{NA} or \code{NULL})
in partition columns. Default is \code{"__HIVE_DEFAULT_PARTITION__"},
which is what Hive uses.}

\item{segment_encoding}{Decode partition segments after splitting paths.
Default is \code{"uri"} (URI-decode segments). May also be \code{"none"} (leave as-is).}
}
\value{
A \link[=Partitioning]{HivePartitioning}, or a \code{HivePartitioningFactory} if
calling \code{hive_partition()} with no arguments.
}
\description{
Hive partitioning embeds field names and values in path segments, such as
"/year=2019/month=2/data.parquet".
}
\details{
Because fields are named in the path segments, order of fields passed to
\code{hive_partition()} does not matter.
