Neeraj Maheshwari created HIVE-21820: ----------------------------------------
Summary: drop database command flushing other data outside db folder Key: HIVE-21820 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-21820 Project: Hive Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Neeraj Maheshwari On running the below command to create new database: *create database abc location /users/hive/warehouse/project_name/;* here expected is, this command should create a new db folder named abc.db under project_name directory, but with hive version 1.2.1000.2.6.3.0-235 its not creating abc.db folder. And on running command *drop database abc;* the entire project_name directory got deleted from HDFS. So here drop command rather than dropping just one db it deleted whole directory and just retained meta informations in hive metastore for other dbs present in project_name directory. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
