-------------------------------------
Summary: when creating transactional table make sure location has
no data
Key: HIVE-18444
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-18444
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Transactions
Affects Versions: 1.0.0
Reporter: Eugene Koifman
if a user creates a new transactional table but sets a location to some place
that already has data any number of things can break.
Data may not be in Acid format, it may have been written by another cluster and
txnids won't make sense in current cluster. Once per table writeIDs are there,
if the data was written by another table, writeIDs won't match.
This could actually work if the data at the existing location was not written
by an acid write but it would be safer/cleaner to just prevent this (at least
at first).
