Adam Szita created HIVE-18705: --------------------------------- Summary: Improve HiveMetaStoreClient.dropDatabase Key: HIVE-18705 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-18705 Project: Hive Issue Type: Improvement Reporter: Adam Szita Assignee: Adam Szita
{{HiveMetaStoreClient.dropDatabase}} has a strange implementation to ensure dealing with client side hooks (for non-native tables e.g. HBase). Currently it starts by retrieving all the tables from HMS, and then sends {{dropTable}} calls to HMS table-by-table. At the end a {{dropDatabase}} just to be sure :) I believe this could be refactored so that it speeds up the dropDB in situations where the average table count per DB is very high. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
