David Mollitor commented on IMPALA-10710:
-----------------------------------------
I've mentally stewed on this issue a bit more and think the existing code is
probably better. Will follow up if I still think this change is needed.
> Do Not Drop Kudu Table When Table Already Exists in HMS
> -------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: IMPALA-10710
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-10710
> Project: IMPALA
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: David Mollitor
> Priority: Major
> Time Spent: 0.5h
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> As I understand the code, Impala performs HMS/Kudu {{CREATE TABLE}}
> interaction as:
> * Create the table in Kudu
> * Register table with HMS
> * Drop the Kudu table on HMS error
> This is generally OK, except that it drops the table from Kudu on a
> {{TableAlreadyExists}} Exception.
> So, if I issue the same {{CREATE TABLE}} statement twice, the data will be
> dropped from Kudu on the second execution.
