------------------------------------------
Summary: HCatClient::dropPartition() doesn't fail for non-existent
partitions.
Key: HIVE-4273
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-4273
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Bug
Components: HCatalog
Affects Versions: 0.10.0
Reporter: Mithun Radhakrishnan
Assignee: Mithun Radhakrishnan
Priority: Minor
In HCatalog 0.4/0.5, if HCatClient::dropPartition() is called with a
partition-spec that doesn't select any partitions, then it should throw an
exception, if(f) ifExists == false. But it doesn't.
At the moment, HCatClientHMSImplementation::dropPartition() queries for all
partitions and attempts to drop them iteratively. It doesn't check for an empty
partition-list.
I'll fix this in a patch shortly.
