> The metastore is caching values, like table names and locations too
> aggressively, leading to inconsistencies across Hive clients and metastore
> Thrift servers.
> For example, open two Hive clients, in each call
> DESCRIBE FORMATTED table_foo;
> Then in one of those clients, execute
> ALTER TABLE table_foo RENAME TO table_bar;
> Then in both clients call
> DESCRIBE FORMATTED table_bar;
> In the client that executed the alter command, the location is correct,
> however, in the other Hive client, it will still show the original location
> of table_foo.
> A similar experiment can be done using metastore Thrift servers, substituting
> get_table for DESCRIBE FORMATTED and alter_table for ALTER TABLE ... RENAME
> TO.
> On the Thrift server you can see that the one which did not execute the alter
> command, not only returns the wrong location, despite calling
> get_table('table_bar') it will return a table that still has the name
> table_foo.
