Rajesh Balamohan commented on HIVE-13778: ----------------------------------------- Can you provide details on the hive and hadoop-aws version details?. I tried it on Hive master + hadoop-2.8 and it worked fine. > DROP TABLE PURGE on S3A table with too many files does not delete the files > --------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-13778 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-13778 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Metastore > Reporter: Sailesh Mukil > Priority: Critical > Labels: metastore, s3 > > I've noticed that when we do a DROP TABLE tablename PURGE on a table on S3A > that has many files, the files never get deleted. However, the Hive metastore > logs do say that the path was deleted: > "Not moving [path] to trash" > "Deleted the diretory [path]" > I initially thought that this was due to the eventually consistent nature of > S3 for deletes, however, a week later, the files still exist. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
