Spark - Creating Sub Folder while writing to Partitioned Hive Table

We had been writing to a Partitioned Hive Table and realized that data is being written has sub-folder.

For ex- Refer Table definition as below - 

Create table T1 ( name string, address string) Partitioned by (process_date string) stored as parquet location '/mytable/a/b/c/org=employee';

While writing to table HDFS path being written looks something like this - 

/mytable/a/b/c/org=employee/process_date=20220812/org=employee

The unnecessary addition of  org=employee after process_date partition is because Hive Table has location consisting "=" operator, which Hive uses as syntax to determine partition column.

Re-defining Table resolves above problem - 

Create table T1 ( name string, address string) Partitioned by (process_date string) stored as parquet location '/mytable/a/b/c/employee';
