> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-5918
> Project: IMPALA
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Docs
> Affects Versions: Impala 2.9.0
> Reporter: Dimitris Tsirogiannis
> Assignee: Alex Rodoni
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: Impala 2.13.0, Impala 3.1.0

>
> The documentation of REFRESH does not seem to explicitly mention that REFRESH
> can also detect file modifications and deletions as long as the modifications
> are not a result of hdfs rebalancer. In some cases, users are confused and so
> they end up using INVALIDATE METADATA even though they should be using
> REFRESH instead. We should expand the documentation of REFRESH to include all
> use cases.
