             Summary: Failed Dynamic Partition Insert into insert only table 
may looks transaction metadata
                 Key: HIVE-20435
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-20435
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Transactions
    Affects Versions: 3.0.0
            Reporter: Eugene Koifman
            Assignee: Eugene Koifman


{{TxnHandler.enqueueLockWithRetry()}} has an optimization where it doesn't writ 
to {{TXN_COMPONENTS}} if the write is a dynamic partition insert because it 
expects to write to this table from {{addDynamicPartitions()}}.  

For insert-only, transactional tables, we create the target dir and start 
writing to it before {{addDynamicPartitions()}} is called.  So if a txn is 
aborted, we may have a delta dir in the partition but no corresponding entry in 
{{TXN_COMPONENTS}}.  This means {{TxnStore.cleanEmptyAbortedTxns()}} may clean 
up {{TXNS}} entry for the aborted transaction before Compactor removes this 
delta dir, at which point it looks like committed data.

Full CRUD are currently immune to this since they rely on "move" operation in 
MoveTask but longer term they should follow the same model as insert-only 
tables.
