Hive inserting parquet files with different schema

I am trying to insert 2 parquet files to HDFS via hive.
the first one looks like



----------------
|col1|col2|col3|
----------------
|1 |2 |3 |
----------------


when I select in HUE, I see this row correctly.
Then I insert the second file to the same table that looks like this:



---------------
col3|col4|col5|
---------------
31 |4 |5 |
---------------


The insert query works here but when I do a select query from all the rows, I get this output:



-------------------------
col1|col2|col3|col4|col5|
-------------------------
1 |2 |3 |null|null|
------------------------
NULL|NULL|31 |NULL|NULL|
------------------------


The second row should be null, null, 31,4,5
what am I doing wrong here?
