Vihang Karajgaonkar reassigned HIVE-17824: ------------------------------------------ > msck repair table should drop the missing partitions from metastore > ------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-17824 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-17824 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Vihang Karajgaonkar > Assignee: Vihang Karajgaonkar > > {{msck repair table <tablename>}} is often used in environments where the new > partitions are loaded as directories on HDFS or S3 and users want to create > the missing partitions in bulk. However, currently it only supports addition > of missing partitions. If there are any partitions which are present in > metastore but not on the FileSystem, it should also delete them so that it > truly repairs the table metadata. > We should be careful not to break backwards compatibility so we should either > introduce a new config or keyword to add support to delete unnecessary > partitions from the metastore. This way users who want the old behavior can > easily turn it off. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
