Aniket Mokashi commented on HIVE-2777: -------------------------------------- Hi Ashutosh, Let me know if the patch is missing something. I will work on fixing those problems. It would be good api to have. Thanks, Aniket > ability to add and drop partitions atomically > --------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-2777 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2777 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Metastore > Reporter: Aniket Mokashi > Assignee: Aniket Mokashi > Attachments: HIVE-2777.D2271.1.patch > > > Hive should have ability to atomically add and drop partitions. This way > admins can change partitions atomically without breaking the running jobs. It > allows admin to merge several partitions into one. > Essentially, we would like to have an api- add_drop_partitions(String db, > String tbl_name, List<Partition> addParts, List<List<String>> dropParts, > boolean deleteData); > This jira covers changes required for metastore and thrift. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
