------------------------------------

             Summary: DROP TABLE PURGE on S3A table with too many files does 
not delete the files
                 Key: HIVE-13778
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-13778
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Metastore
            Reporter: Sailesh Mukil
            Priority: Critical


I've noticed that when we do a DROP TABLE tablename PURGE on a table on S3A 
that has many files, the files never get deleted. However, the Hive metastore 
logs do say that the path was deleted:

"Not moving [path] to trash"
"Deleted the diretory [path]"

I initially thought that this was due to the eventually consistent nature of 
S3, however, a week later, the files still exist.
