Wechar created HIVE-26401: ----------------------------- Summary: Refine the log of add_partitions if the partition already exists Key: HIVE-26401 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-26401 Project: Hive Issue Type: Improvement Components: Hive Affects Versions: 4.0.0-alpha-1 Reporter: Wechar Assignee: Wechar Fix For: 4.0.0-alpha-2
Currently {{*add_partitions_xxx*}} will log the complete information of a partition if it already exists, see in [HMSHandler.java#L4320|https://github.com/apache/hive/blob/e3751ab545370f9b252d0b4a07bc315037541a95/standalone-metastore/metastore-server/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/metastore/HMSHandler.java#L4320]: {code:java} if (!shouldAdd) { LOG.info("Not adding partition {} as it already exists", part); return false; } {code} It will print a long message including the columns of this partition, we think it is unnecessary based on the following two points: {color:red}1. The long message is redundant.{color} We can get enough information from just *cat_name.db_name.tbl_name[part_col1=part_val1/part_col2=part_val2...]* {color:red}2. The long message is not friendly to save and query.{color} This log message will take up a large log space especially when the user need to execute *MSCK REPAIR TABLE* operation regularly because the old partition must be already existed. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
