Andrew Chalfant created HIVE-3646: ------------------------------------- Summary: Add 'IGNORE PROTECTION' predicate for dropping partitions Key: HIVE-3646 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-3646 Project: Hive Issue Type: New Feature Components: CLI Affects Versions: 0.9.0 Reporter: Andrew Chalfant Assignee: Andrew Chalfant Priority: Minor
There are cases where it is desirable to move partitions between clusters. Having to undo protection and then re-protect tables in order to delete partitions from a source are multi-step and can leave us in a failed open state where partition and table metadata is dirty. By implementing an 'rm -rf'-like functionality, we can perform these operations atomically. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
