Denys Kuzmenko commented on HIVE-25688: --------------------------------------- Merged to master. [~pvary] thank you for the review! > Non blocking DROP PARTITION implementation > ------------------------------------------ > > Key: HIVE-25688 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-25688 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Task > Reporter: Denys Kuzmenko > Priority: Major > Labels: pull-request-available > Time Spent: 4h 20m > Remaining Estimate: 0h > > This changes the drop partition operation to asynchronous. The data files of > transactional tables will not be deleted, but a new truncated basefile will > be written, which is going to be later cleaned up by the Compactor/Cleaner. > This along with a few other changes will enable us to not use read locks, > which provides perf boost to the transactional tables. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.1#820001)
