-------------------------------------------
Summary: Bad rename of directory during commit, when using HCat
dynamic-partitioning.
Key: HIVE-11475
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-11475
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Bug
Components: HCatalog
Affects Versions: 1.2.0
Reporter: Mithun Radhakrishnan
Assignee: Mithun Radhakrishnan
Priority: Critical
Here's one that [~knoguchi] found and root-caused. This one's a doozy.
Under seemingly random conditions, the temporary output (under
{{_SCRATCH1.234*}}) for HCat's dynamic partitioner isn't promoted correctly to
the final table directory.
The namenode logs indicated a botched directory-rename:

dst=/projects/hive/myth.db/myth_table_15mE-4/tc=1/utc_time=201508020145/part-r-00000
perm=myth:madcaps:rw-r-r- proto=rpc
{noformat}
Note that the table-directory name {{"myth_table_15m"}} is appended with
{{"E-4"}}. This'll break anything that uses HDFS-based polling.
[~knoguchi] points out the following code:
{code:title=HCatOutputFormat.java}
119 if ((idHash = conf.get(HCatConstants.HCAT_OUTPUT_ID_HASH)) == null) {
120 idHash = String.valueOf(Math.random());
121 }
{code}
{code:title=FileOutputCommitterContainer.java}
370 String finalLocn = jobLocation.replaceAll(Path.SEPARATOR +
SCRATCH_DIR_NAME + "\\d\\.?\\d+","");
{code}
The problem is that when {{Math.random()}} produces a number <= 10 ^-3^,
{{String.valueOf(double)}} uses exponential notation. The regex doesn't capture
or handle this notation.
The fix belies the debugging-effort.
