Ashutosh Chauhan commented on HIVE-21254: ----------------------------------------- It should be determined whether table is acid or not. Pre-upgrade tool need to compact acid tables. Thats a must, we can't skip it. If it's a non-acid table then no action is needed on it anyways, so ACE exception can be ignored, but if its an acid table then I think tool shall raise an exception and fail. User need to make sure that user running pre-upgrade tool has sufficient privileges. > Pre-upgrade tool should handle exceptions and skip db/tables > ------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HIVE-21254 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-21254 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Transactions > Affects Versions: 4.0.0 > Reporter: Prasanth Jayachandran > Assignee: Prasanth Jayachandran > Priority: Major > Attachments: HIVE-21254.1.patch > > > When exceptions like AccessControlException is thrown, pre-upgrade tool > fails.
