Ben Johnson commented on HIVE-2777:
-----------------------------------
Apologies for digging up an old issue, but was this ever resolved? [~aniket486]
did you find a work around for this? We're also storing data on S3 and need a
way to atomically merge data. Hive's CONCATENATE feature is not sufficient as
it introduces a brief period where data just disappears and the reappears. I'd
love to hear solutions to this if anyone has them. Thanks!

> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: New Feature

> Hive should have ability to atomically add and drop partitions. This way
> admins can change partitions atomically without breaking the running jobs. It
> allows admin to merge several partitions into one.
> Essentially, we would like to have an api- add_drop_partitions(String db,
> String tbl_name, List<Partition> addParts, List<List<String>> dropParts,
> boolean deleteData);
> This jira covers changes required for metastore and thrift.
