ASF GitHub Bot updated HIVE-25773:
----------------------------------
Labels: pull-request-available (was: )
> Column descriptors might not deleted via direct sql
> ---------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HIVE-25773
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-25773
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Metastore
> Reporter: Yu-Wen Lai
> Assignee: Yu-Wen Lai
> Priority: Major
> Labels: pull-request-available
> Time Spent: 10m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> Steps to reproduce:
> 1. create a partitioned table
> 2. add a partition _p_
> 3. add column to the partition _p_ (a column descriptor will be created)
> 4. drop partition _p_
> The new column descriptor still existed even though there's no relation left.
> We are currently using below SQL and extract the results that count = 0 as
> dangling column descriptors. However, it is impossible to get count = 0 from
> groupby query so they will never be deleted if it is not a table's default
> column descriptor.
>
> {code:java}
> SELECT SDS.CD_ID, count(1)
> FROM SDS WHERE SDS.CD_ID in (cdIds)
> GROUP BY SDS.CD_ID;{code}
