Sailesh Mukil created HIVE-13778: ------------------------------------ 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. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
