Logan Hardy commented on HIVE-4996: ----------------------------------- Thanks for your reply Teddy. I have a hive script that drops then re-creates a couple of tables. I assumed that it was the "drop table if exists" steps but upon further investigation at least in the latest instance it was the last step that failed. *--uber_responsemapping* [root@ALLEG-P-H0001 exec_etl-wf]# cat drop_uber_tables.q DROP TABLE if exists ${hivedbname}.uber_responsemapping; DROP TABLE if exists ${hivedbname}.ubermap; --ubermap Create table ${hivedbname}.ubermap ( ubermapid int, id int, value string, surveyid int, uberindex int, uberbit bigint, modifieddate string) Partitioned by (Maptype int ) Clustered by (id ) into 20 BUCKETS; *--uber_responsemapping* *Create Table ${hivedbname}.uber_responsemapping (* *id int, * *responseid int, * *respondentid int, * *answerid int, * *scaleid int, * *responserank int, * *respondentstate int, * *modifieddatetime string, * *value string, * *answerweight int,* *answerdatatype string,* *dataaction string)* *Partitioned by (surveyid int)* *Clustered by (respondentid) into 50 BUCKETS;* > unbalanced calls to openTransaction/commitTransaction > ----------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-4996 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-4996 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Metastore > Affects Versions: 0.10.0 > Environment: hiveserver1 Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build > 20.6-b01, mixed mode) > Reporter: wangfeng > Priority: Critical > Labels: hive, metastore > Original Estimate: 504h > Remaining Estimate: 504h > > when we used hiveserver1 based on hive-0.10.0, we found the Exception > thrown.It was: > FAILED: Error in metadata: MetaException(message:java.lang.RuntimeException: > commitTransaction was called but openTransactionCalls = 0.
