Hi, I have a Hive managed table on S3, "api_measurements". I've tried dropping a partition like so:
hive> alter table api_measurements drop if exists partition(daydate='2018-04-04', epoch=1522876500); Dropped the partition daydate=2018-04-04/epoch=1522876500 OK Time taken: 2.109 seconds Yet the data is still on S3. Because object keys on S3 are always strings, I also tried this: hive> alter table api_measurements drop partition(daydate='2018-04-04', epoch='1522876500'); OK Time taken: 0.135 seconds Yet the object keys and data are still there. I assume that Im missing something really simple. Can anyone shed some light on this? Thanks
