Jason Dere created HIVE-10421:
---------------------------------
Summary: DROP TABLE with qualified table name ignores database
name when checking partitions
Key: HIVE-10421
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-10421
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Jason Dere
Hive was only recently changed to allow "drop table dbname.tabname". However
DDLTask.dropTable() is still using an older version of
Hive.getPartitionNames(), which only took in a single string for the table
name, rather than the database and table names. As a result Hive is filling in
the current database name as the dbname during the listPartitions call to the
MetaStore.
It also appears that on the Hive Metastore side, in the non-auth path there is
no validation to check that the dbname.tablename actually exists - this call
simply returns back an empty list of partitions, which causes the table to be
dropped without checking any of the partition information. I will open a
separate issue for this one.
