Ryan P commented on HIVE-9544: ------------------------------ [~harisekhon] that's fair, sorry I missed that some how. I don't think the issue is with Sentry it's so much as the presence of a pre-event listener. >From the HMS logs I was able to find the following ERROR org.apache.thrift.ProcessFunction: Internal error processing get_partition_names NoSuchObjectException(message:default.testdrop table not found) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.metastore.HiveMetaStore$HMSHandler.fireReadTablePreEvent(HiveMetaStore.java:2820) Tracing the stack in the HMS logs I found that the error is thrown here: private void fireReadTablePreEvent(String dbName, String tblName) throws MetaException, NoSuchObjectException { if(preListeners.size() > 0) { // do this only if there is a pre event listener registered (avoid unnecessary // metastore api call) Table t = getMS().getTable(dbName, tblName); if (t == null) { throw new NoSuchObjectException(dbName + "." + tblName + " table not found"); } firePreEvent(new PreReadTableEvent(t, this)); } } I'm not sure why or how the database qualifier is lost but in the absence of a pre-event listener everything works as expected. > Error dropping fully qualified partitioned table - Internal error processing > get_partition_names > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HIVE-9544 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-9544 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 0.14.0 > Environment: HDP 2.2 > Reporter: Hari Sekhon > Priority: Minor > > When attempting to drop a partitioned table using a fully qualified name I > get this error: > {code} > hive -e 'drop table myDB.my_table_name;' > Logging initialized using configuration in > file:/etc/hive/conf/hive-log4j.properties > SLF4J: Class path contains multiple SLF4J bindings. > SLF4J: Found binding in > [jar:file:/usr/hdp/2.2.0.0-2041/hadoop/lib/slf4j-log4j12-1.7.5.jar!/org/slf4j/impl/StaticLoggerBinder.class] > SLF4J: Found binding in > [jar:file:/usr/hdp/2.2.0.0-2041/hive/lib/hive-jdbc-0.14.0.2.2.0.0-2041-standalone.jar!/org/slf4j/impl/StaticLoggerBinder.class] > SLF4J: See http://www.slf4j.org/codes.html#multiple_bindings for an > explanation. > SLF4J: Actual binding is of type [org.slf4j.impl.Log4jLoggerFactory] > FAILED: Execution Error, return code 1 from > org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.DDLTask. > org.apache.thrift.TApplicationException: Internal error processing > get_partition_names > {code} > It succeeds if I instead do: > {code}hive -e 'use myDB; drop table my_table_name;'{code} > Regards, > Hari Sekhon > http://www.linkedin.com/in/harisekhon -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
