> HMS APIs to be enhanced for metadata replication
> ------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HIVE-26012
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-26012
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Metastore
> Affects Versions: 3.1.0
> Reporter: Naveen Gangam
> Assignee: Sai Hemanth Gantasala
> Priority: Major
>
> HMS currently has APIs like these that automatically create/delete the
> directories on the associated DFS.
> [create/drop]_database
> [create/drop]_table*
> [add/append/drop]_partition*
> This is expected and should be this way when query processors use this APIs.
> However, when tools that replicate hive metadata use this APIs on the target
> cluster, creating these dirs on target side which cause the replication of
> DFS-snapshots to fail.
> So we if provide an option to bypass this creation of dirs, dfs replications
> will be smoother. In the future we will need to restrict users that can use
> these APIs. So we will have some sort of an authorization policy.
