------------------------------------
Summary: The HiveMetastore.exchange_partitions method throws
FileNotFoundException if the given partition doesn't exist in the source table
Key: HIVE-18697
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-18697
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Metastore
Reporter: Marta Kuczora
Assignee: Marta Kuczora
If calling the HiveMetastore.exchange_partitions method with a non-existing
partition, a FileNotFoundException will occur. Since the partitions of the
source table are fetched
{code:java}
List<Partition> partitionsToExchange = get_partitions_ps(sourceDbName,
sourceTableName,
partVals, (short)-1);
{code}
this use case could be handled better by checking if the partitionsToExchange
list is empty and if it is, throw a MetaException with a proper error message
that no partition exists for the source table with the given values.
See the testExchangePartitionsNoPartExists test case in the
TestExchangePartitions test.
