Zhong Yanghong commented on KYLIN-2987: --------------------------------------- Hi [~liukaige], I think this issue relates to HIVE. Why auto.purge=true cannot work for EXTERNAL tables. Currently HIVE may not support. However, for the long term, I don't know why not support it. > Add 'auto.purge=true' when creating intermediate hive table or redistribute a > hive table > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: KYLIN-2987 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KYLIN-2987 > Project: Kylin > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Zhong Yanghong > Assignee: Zhong Yanghong > Priority: Trivial > Attachments: APACHE-KYLIN-2987.patch > > > At kylin side, we can add auto.purge=true when creating intermediate table. > However, to make ‘auto.purge’ effective for “insert overwrite table”, we > still need one patch for hive. > https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-15880 -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
