What else would be left?  There's still any site configs but otherwise it's a 
cleaned system, right?

c.b.:  you can specify your metastore_db location (so you only have one db) for 
your hive instance as a whole in hive-site.xml with this:

<property>
  <name>javax.jdo.option.ConnectionURL</name>
  <value>jdbc:derby:PATH_FOR_YOUR_METASTORE</value>
</property>

It'll make it easier for you to blow away your setup.

I'd be surprised if this were not enough.

Hello,

I sometimes need to delete everything in hdfs and  recreate the tables.

The question is: how do I clear everything in the hdfs and hive?

I delete everything in /tmp, hadoop/logs and any metastore_db i can find.

then hadoop namenode -format

-

is this enough?


best regards,
