Eugene Koifman commented on HIVE-18131:
---------------------------------------
at a minimum this should take an X lock (exclusive write lock when it becomes
available)
> Truncate table for Acid tables

> How should this work? Should it work like Insert Overwrite T select * from T
> where 1=2?
> This should create a new empty base_x/ and thus operate w/o violating
> Snapshot Isolation semantics.
> This makes sense for specific partition or unpartitioned table. What about
> "Truncate T" where T is partitioned? Is the expectation to wipe out all
> partition info or to make each partition empty?
