Gabor Kaszab updated HIVE-22062:
Description:
Changing the schema (e.g. adding a new column) of a non-partitioned ACID table
results in the table-level writeId being incremented. This is as expected.
However, if you do the same on a partitioned ACID table then neither the
table-level nor the partition-level writeIds are updated. I would expect in
this case to increment the table-level writeId to reflect that the table has
been changed.
Note, that get_valid_write_ids() shows that the high watermark is incremented
even though the writeId isn't.
Update: I'd extend the scope of this Jira further a bit. There are a number of
use cases in Hive that doesn't result in a writeId change on ACID tables and as
a result there is no way from other systems (like Impala) to judge if a refresh
should be run on a table or not. The only option is to every time update all
the data for a table that is expensive. E.g. Additionally to the above use-case
compaction is something that is not noticeable outside from Hive.
