Thanks, Michael. I discovered it myself. Finally, it was not a bug from Spark. I have two HDFS cluster and Hive uses hive.metastore.warehouse.dir + fs.defaultFS(HDFS1) for saving internal tables and also reference a default database URI(HDFS2) in "DBS" table from metastore. It may not be a problem if URI of default database is same as fs.defaultFS. Maybe few of people set their default database URI to another HDFS like me. I copied hive-site.xml into spark conf then Hive and Spark had same metastore configuration. But the result table of "saveAsTable" has its metadata in HDFS1 and its data in HDFS2. "DESCRIBE FORMATTED <table_name>" will show the difference between Location of table(HDFS1) and Path in Storage Desc Params(HDFS2) even though table is type of MANAGED_TABLE. That is why "DROP TABLE" deletes only metadata in HDFS1 and NOT delete data files in HDFS2. So I can not reproduce a table with same location and same name. If I update DBS table in metastoredb to set default database URI to HDFS1, it works perfectly.

The table disappears from a table list but the data files are still alive. Because of this, I can't saveAsTable with a same name before dropping table. Is it a normal situation? If it is, I will delete files manually ;) Kevin 상기 메일은 지정된 수신인만을 위한 것이며, 부정경쟁방지 및 영업비밀보호에 관한 법률,개인정보 보호법을 포함하여 관련 법령에 따라 보호의 대상이 되는 영업비밀, 산업기술,기밀정보, 개인정보 등을 포함하고 있을 수 있습니다. 본 문서에 포함된 정보의 전부 또는 일부를 무단으로 복사 또는 사용하거나 제3자에게 공개, 배포, 제공하는 것은 엄격히 금지됩니다. 본 메일이 잘못 전송된 경우 발신인 또는 당사에게 알려주시고 본 메일을 즉시 삭제하여 주시기 바랍니다.
