             Summary: Optimize(reduce) the number of alter calls made to fix 
repl.last.id
                 Key: HIVE-15652
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-15652
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Sushanth Sowmyan
            Assignee: Sushanth Sowmyan


Per code review from HIVE-15534, we might be doing alters to parent objects to 
set repl.last.id when it is not necessary, since some future event might make 
this alter redundant.

There are 3 cases where this might happen:

a) After a CREATE_TABLE event - any prior reference to that table does not need 
an ALTER, since CREATE_TABLE will have a repl.last.id come with it.
b) After a DROP_TABLE event - any prior reference to that table is irrelevant, 
and thus, no alter is needed.
c) After an ALTER_TABLE event, since that dump will itself do a metadata update 
that will get the latest repl.last.id along with this event.

In each of these cases, we can remove the alter call needed.
