             Summary: Impala catalogd events-skipped may mark the wrong number
                 Key: IMPALA-12771
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-12771
             Project: IMPALA
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Catalog
            Reporter: Maxwell Guo
            Assignee: Maxwell Guo


See the description of [event-skipped 
metric|https://github.com/apache/impala/blob/master/fe/src/main/java/org/apache/impala/catalog/events/MetastoreEventsProcessor.java#L237]
 

{code:java}
 // total number of events which are skipped because of the flag setting or
  // in case of [CREATE|DROP] events on [DATABASE|TABLE|PARTITION] which were 
ignored
  // because the [DATABASE|TABLE|PARTITION] was already [PRESENT|ABSENT] in the 
catalogd.
{code}
 
As for CREATE and DROP event on Database/Table/Partition (Also AddPartition is 
inclued) when we found that the table/database when the database or table is 
not found in the cache then we will skip the event process and make the 
event-skipped metric +1.
But I found that there is some question here for alter table and Reload event:

* For alter table if renaming a table , the events-skipped  metric will also +1 
,see [oldTblRemoved to be false 
|https://github.com/apache/impala/blob/master/fe/src/main/java/org/apache/impala/catalog/events/MetastoreEvents.java#L1653]
* For Reload event that is not describe in the description of events-skipped, 
but the value is +1 when is oldevent;
* Besides if the table is in blacklist the metric will also +1
In summary, I think this description is inconsistent with the actual 
implementation.
So can we also mark the events-skipped metric for alter partition events and 
modify the 
description  to be all the events skipped
