Project: Hive

Affects Versions: 0.9.0
Environment: General. Hive Metastore bug.
Reporter: Mousom Dhar Gupta
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 0.9.0
Running into an "Out Of Memory" error when trying to drop a table with 128K
partitions.
The methods dropTable in
metastore/src/java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/metastore/ObjectStore.java
and dropTable in ql/src/java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/ql/exec/DDLTask.java
encounter out of memory errors
when dropping tables with lots of partitions because they try to load the
metadata for every partition into memory.
