Morgan Phillips commented on HIVE-4393: --------------------------------------- Yes, sorry. To answer your question about how deleteData is related to the description; DFS data is only deleted when partitions are dropped on internal tables with the deleteData flag set. Because I'm only trying to track drop partition events where data should be removed from the DFS I need to have access to the deleteData flag from within the event listeners. > Make the deleteData flag accessable from DropTable/Partition events > ------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-4393 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-4393 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Metastore > Reporter: Morgan Phillips > Assignee: Morgan Phillips > Priority: Minor > Attachments: HIVE-4393.D10443.1.patch > > > On occasion, due to some error during a drop, information is removed from the > metastore but data, which should have been removed, remains intact on the > DFS. In order to log such events via PreEvent and Event listeners a new > method 'getDeleteData' should be added to (Pre)DropPartitionEvent and > (Pre)DropTableEvent which returns the deleteData flag's value. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
