Swarnim Kulkarni updated HIVE-6469: ----------------------------------- Labels: TODOC14 (was: ) > 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 > Labels: TODOC14 > Fix For: 0.14.0 > > Attachments: HIVE-6469.1.patch, HIVE-6469.2.patch, HIVE-6469.3.patch, > HIVE-6469.patch > > > Th current behavior of hive metastore during a "drop table <table_name>" > command is to delete the data from HDFS warehouse and put it into Trash. > Currently there is no way to provide a flag to tell the warehouse to skip > trash while deleting table data. > This ticket is to add skipTrash configuration "hive.warehouse.data.skipTrash" > , which when set to true, will skipTrash while dropping table data from hdfs > warehouse. This will be set to false by default to keep current behavior. > This would be good feature to add, so that an admin of the cluster can > specify when not to put data into the trash directory (eg. in a dev > environment) 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)
