Taraka Rama Rao Lethavadla updated HIVE-27072: ---------------------------------------------- Description: There are couple of issues when partitions were corrupted or have additional unwanted files that will intervene query execution and fail. If we run query like "validate table table_name [partition(partition=a,..)]", the output should list * any unwanted files like empty/metadata files(like _SUCCESS etc) * any unwanted folders not confirming to the partition naming convention like test_folder where actual partition name looks like test=23 * Too many staging directories, if we find many then cleanup is not happening properly after query execution * any file permission related issues like table has one owner, partition has another owner etc(Optional) We have something like this in Impala [Invalidate metadata and Refresh commands|https://impala.apache.org/docs/build/html/topics/impala_invalidate_metadata.html] So we can have something similar to that functionality in Hive was: There are couple of issues when partitions were corrupted or have additional unwanted files that will intervene query execution and fail.
