-------------------------------
Summary: Temporary table with LOCATION clause not removed after
session ends
Key: HIVE-15729
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-15729
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Marcus T
Priority: Minor
When using CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE with a LOCATION clause, Hive doesn't remove
the created files when the session ends.
Steps to reproduce:
beeline
CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE this_gets_removed AS SELECT 'OK';
CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE this_stays LOCATION '/tmp/this_stays' AS SELECT
'BAD';
!quit
hdfs dfs -ls -R "/tmp/hive/${USER}" "/tmp/this_stays"
Expected result: files and directories for `this_gets_removed` and `this_stays`
are removed.
Actual result: files and directories for `this_gets_removed` are removed, files
and directories for `this_stays` are still present.
Ideally, it would be great if the LOCATION clause worked with the TEMPORARY
clause. If they can't be made to work together, perhaps the LOCATION clause
should be illegal when using TEMPORARY.
