Sergey Shelukhin created HIVE-6397: -------------------------------------- Summary: use direct SQL for drop queries (for actual deletes) Key: HIVE-6397 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-6397 Project: Hive Issue Type: Improvement Reporter: Sergey Shelukhin
We can issue direct SQL queries to drop e.g. partitions to speed things up; as is the usual approach with direct SQL, having a fully functional fallback to datanucleus. One thing to consider is whether we could mess with DN if we do that, invalidating some of its assumptions and breaking code accessing the underlying datastore via DN on other threads. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.5#6160)
