Lefty Leverenz commented on HIVE-6469: -------------------------------------- Release 0.14 is a long way off, so I won't document this yet. (Or should it be documented now to let people know there's a patch they could apply before the release?) > skipTrash option in hive command line > ------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-6469 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-6469 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: CLI > Affects Versions: 0.12.0 > Reporter: Jayesh > Assignee: Jayesh > Fix For: 0.14.0 > > Attachments: HIVE-6469.1.patch, HIVE-6469.2.patch, HIVE-6469.3.patch, > HIVE-6469.patch > > > hive drop table command deletes the data from HDFS warehouse and puts it into > Trash. > Currently there is no way to provide flag to tell warehouse to skip trash > while deleting table data. > This ticket is to add skipTrash feature in hive command-line, that looks as > following. > hive -e "drop table skipTrash testTable" > This would be good feature to add, so that user can specify when not to put > data into trash directory and thus not to fill hdfs space instead of relying > on trash interval and policy configuration to take care of disk filling issue. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
