Johan Oskarsson updated HIVE-86:
--------------------------------
Attachment: HIVE-86.patch
A first attempt at a patch for this issue. Please review and point me in the
right direction. Since I haven't worked much with Hive I'm having trouble
seeing how the different components work together. It seems like there are two
places where the data in a dropped table can be deleted, once in RWTable.java
and one in HiveMetaStoreClient.java. Any reason for this duplication?
What role does the different *Store objects in the metastore java dir have?
This patch does not make sure that a partition drop doesn't delete the original
data. Shall I open up a new issue for that?
