             Summary: Query failed after swap table by renaming
                 Key: CARBONDATA-1690
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CARBONDATA-1690
             Project: CarbonData
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: spark-integration
    Affects Versions: 1.3.0
            Reporter: xuchuanyin

             Fix For: 1.3.0



# SCENARIO

I encountered query error after swap table by renaming table. Steps to 
reproduce this bug are listed as below.

These steps work fine:

1. CREATE TABLE `t1`;
2. LOAD DATA TO `t1`;
3. CREATE TABLE `t2`;
4. LOAD DATA TO `t2`;
5. RENAME `t1` TO `t3`;
6. RENAME `t2` TO `t1`;
7. QUERY `t1`;

These steps work wrong:

1. CREATE TABLE `t1`;
2. LOAD DATA TO `t1`;
3. CREATE TABLE `t2`;
4. LOAD DATA TO `t2`;
**5. QUERY `t1`;**   --- Added this step
6. RENAME `t1` TO `t3`;
7. RENAME `t2` TO `t1`;
8. QUERY `t1`;   --- This step will cause failure

The above two scenario differs from that the second one add Step5 and the error 
will be thrown in Step8. The error message in sparksql shell looks like
```
Error: java.io.FileNotFoundException: File 
hdfs://slave1:9000/carbonstore/default/test_table/Fact/Part0/Segment_0/part-0-0_batchno0-0-1510144676427.carbondata
 does not exist. (state=,code=0)
```

# Analyze

Renaming table name in carbondata actually is done through renaming the 
corresponding data folder name. In addition, carbondata also refresh the 
metadata and its cache.

Having seen from the error message above, we find that the file name is exactly 
the one before rename operation. We guess the problems may lies in data map.

In the second scenario, before renaming, when we query `t1 ` (Step5), the 
corresponding data map will be loaded and cached. Since data map is table name 
based, when we query `t1` again (Step8) after renaming, the previous data map 
will be used, which is outdated and incorrect, thus will cause the 
`FileNotFoundException` error.

In the first scenario, when we query `t1` (Step7), it is the first time to load 
the data map, so the correct data will be readed, that's why it acts OK.



# Resolve

There are two ways to fix this bug:

1. Change the index key of Data Map. Use `table_name + 
table_schema_last_update_time` in replace of `table_name`.

2. Clear corresponding Data Map when doing renaming operation.

I prefer the second one since it is easy to implement —— just one line of code.
