We have 2 options either not sending a partitionBy config and then partitions are ignored and com.uber.hoodie.NonpartitionedKeyGenerator is used to partition. Or write a simple unknown partition:

steps:
  - dataFrameName: table_data
    sql:
      SELECT *, 'default' as default
      FROM table

output:
  - outputType: Hudi
    dataFrameName: table_data
    outputOptions:
      path: path.parquet
      keyColumn: id
      timeColumn: date
      saveMode: Append
      hivePartitions: default
      partitionBy: default
      tableName: hive_table
