Eugene Koifman commented on HIVE-10632: --------------------------------------- The right way to do this is to add a MetaStoreListener to clean up Acid related metastore tables on dropTable/Partition. > Make sure TXN_COMPONENTS gets cleaned up if table is dropped before > compaction. > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-10632 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-10632 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Metastore, Transactions > Affects Versions: 1.0.0 > Reporter: Eugene Koifman > Assignee: Eugene Koifman > Priority: Critical > > The compaction process will clean up entries in TXNS, > COMPLETED_TXN_COMPONENTS, TXN_COMPONENTS. If the table/partition is dropped > before compaction is complete there will be data left in these tables. Need > to investigate if there are other situations where this may happen and > address it. > see HIVE-10595 for additional info -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
