Change data partitioning on Amazon EMR

When Change Data Partitioning is enabled, the Replicate Change Tables in Hive are partitioned by the partition_name column. Data files are uploaded to Amazon S3 storage, according to the maximum size and time definition, and then stored in a directory under the Change Table directory. Whenever the specified partition timeframe ends, a partition is created in Hive, pointing to the Amazon S3 storage.

Information about the partitions is written to the attrep_cdc_partitions Control Table.
