------------------------------------------------
oh, i see. The title of the jira was misleading.
> ALTER TABLE may generate huge event (with all partitions)
> ---------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HIVE-18942
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-18942
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Metastore
> Affects Versions: 3.0.0
> Reporter: Alexander Kolbasov
> Priority: Major
>
> ALTER TABLE handler in HiveAlterHandler has this code:
> {code:java}
> if (isPartitionedTable) {
> parts = msdb.getPartitions(newt.getDbName(), newt.getTableName(), -1);
> MetaStoreListenerNotifier.notifyEvent(transactionalListeners,
> EventMessage.EventType.ADD_PARTITION,
> new AddPartitionEvent(newt, parts, true, handler),
> environmentContext);
> }{code}
> The problem is that table may contain huge number of partitions and the event
> will contain all of them. Partition object itself isn't very small either, so
> we may end up with huge events which would be stored and then transmitted
> over the wire to consumers.
> [~spena] [~kkalyan] [~lina.li] [~vaidyand] FYI.
