Sahil Takiar commented on HIVE-18922:
-------------------------------------
Is this just when {{MERGE INTO}} queries are run? This might be specific to
Hive-ACID then.
> Hive is not cleaning up staging directories

> Key: HIVE-18922
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-18922
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Anant Mittal
> Priority: Major
>
> Hive is creating hdfs folders with format
> <table_location>/.hive-staging_hive_<date>_<time>-xx/-ext-xxxxx
> These are not being cleaned up even after long duration. The folder is used
> to load to the table. Example:
> Loading data to table default.tablename from
> hdfs://clustermachine/apps/hive/warehouse/tablename/.hive-staging_hive_2018-01-31_11-45-14_005_1129336997995057804-51/-ext-10000
>
> This might be covered to some extent by HIVE-11940 but, want to make sure all
> cases are addressed.
