Subramanyam Pattipaka commented on HIVE-14511:
----------------------------------------------

Yes. That's correct. We should also check that there are no files exists until 
the required depth. May be thats what you wanted here? For example, files like

tbldir/file1
tbldir/p1=1/file2

exists then partition creation should fail. If there is ignore config option 
set then probably we should move ahead ignoring these files. But, please log 
them under debug mode such that those can be collected and may be user may want 
to act on them once they have the list instead of deleting one at a time and 
rerunning msck.

> Some users will have a folder rather than a file under the last partition 
> folder. However, msck is going to search for the leaf folder rather than the 
> last partition folder. We need to improve that.
