Since it already throws checked exceptions, adding a boolean return value makes things more complicated for the caller, and signals the same type of failure as an exception but without the ability to include information about what caused the failure. I think it would be better to modify the code so that an exception is always thrown when success==FALSE. bq. > bq. > This comment also applies to the various alterTable and alterPartition methods located in other classes. Thanks for your feedback, Carl. I understand your point about the return value of those functions. Is throwing a MetaException in the case of failure appropriate? Furthermore, I noticed that a few other RawStore operations return boolean values, such as dropDatabase, alterDatabase, dropTable, addPartition, etc. The return value in each case corresponds to successfully committing the transaction. Should we adopt a uniform interface across these functions? - Sohan ----------------------------------------------------------- This is an automatically generated e-mail.

(Updated 2011-06-03 20:20:03) bq. bq. bq. Review request for hive and Paul Yang. bq. bq. bq. Summary bq. ------- bq. bq. HIVE-2038 introduced the MetaStoreEventListener abstract class that defines actions to be performed after particular events on a metastore. Improve upon that class by adding events to be performed on "alter table" and "alter partition" actions. Also, update the hive metastore to call the appropriate functions of the listeners when the events happen. bq. bq. bq.
