------------------------------------
Assignee: Naveen Gangam
> Hive generates a add partition event with empty partition list
> --------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HIVE-22100
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-22100
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Vihang Karajgaonkar
> Assignee: Naveen Gangam
> Priority: Major
>
> If the user issues a {{alter table <table> add if not exists partition
> <partition_spec>}} and it the partition already exists, no partition is
> added. However, metastore still generates a {{ADD_PARTITION}} event with
> empty partition list. An {{alter table <table> drop if exists partition
> <partition_spec>}} does not generate the {{DROP_PARTITION}} event in case the
> partition is not existing.
> This behavior is inconsistent and misleading. Metastore should not generate
> such add_partition events.
