Kevin Wilfong updated HIVE-3134: -------------------------------- Status: Patch Available (was: Open) > Drop table/index/database can result in orphaned locations > ---------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-3134 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-3134 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Kevin Wilfong > Assignee: Kevin Wilfong > Attachments: HIVE-3134.1.patch.txt > > > Today when a managed table has a partition with a location which is not a > subdirectory of the table's location, when the table is dropped the > partition's data is not deleted from HDFS, resulting in an orphaned directory > (the data exists but nothing points to it). > The same applies to dropping a database with cascade and a table has a > location outside the database. > I think it is safe to assume managed tables/partitions own the directories > they point to, so we should clean these up. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
