             Summary: MSCK Repair table should fix partitions in batches 
                 Key: HIVE-12077
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-12077
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Hive
            Reporter: Ryan P


If a user attempts to run MSCK REPAIR TABLE on a directory with a large number 
of untracked partitions HMS will OOME. I suspect this is because it attempts to 
do one large bulk load in an effort to save time. Ultimately this can lead to a 
collection so large in size that HMS eventually hits an Out of Memory 
Exception. 

Instead I suggest that Hive include a configurable batch size that HMS can use 
to break up the load.
