Zheng Shao commented on HIVE-1109: ---------------------------------- There is no separate test for temp directories. But every query we test uses the temp directories (which are changed by this patch), so I think as long as all the current tests pass, it should be good. > Structured temporary directories > -------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-1109 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1109 > Project: Hadoop Hive > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 0.6.0 > Reporter: Zheng Shao > Assignee: Zheng Shao > Attachments: HIVE-1109.1.patch, HIVE-1109.2.patch > > > Currently Hive execution uses a lot of temporary directories. These > directories are NOT named by date or time, so it's impossible to know what > are the temporary directories (in case the query failed to clean up) that can > be deleted safely. > We should have a better temporary directory structure, with the date and time > in the directory name. > This will help a lot when we are able to resume a query that failed in the > middle, because we need to preserve the temporary directories for that query. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
