Devaraj Das updated HIVE-1943: ------------------------------ Attachment: hive-metastore-auth.patch Attaching the patch that I uploaded last on reviewboard. > Metastore operations (like drop_partition) could be improved in terms of > maintaining consistency of metadata and data > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-1943 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1943 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Metastore > Reporter: Devaraj Das > Assignee: Devaraj Das > Fix For: 0.8.0 > > Attachments: hive-metastore-auth.patch > > > Currently, metastore operations with associated hdfs operations like > drop_partition doesn't do a rollback if the hdfs operation fails. The > metastore first updates the metadata, and then tries to do hdfs operation. If > the hdfs operation fails for any reason, the data on the hdfs will be > orphaned. We should improve the situation. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
