>
> Currently, metastore operations with associated hdfs operations like
> drop_partition doesn't do a rollback if the hdfs operation fails. The
> metastore first updates the metadata, and then tries to do hdfs operation. If
> the hdfs operation fails for any reason, the data on the hdfs will be
> orphaned. We should improve the situation.
