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
