Thejas M Nair commented on HIVE-12077:
--------------------------------------
There is a bug in this patch.
Lets say bactch_size = 5, and no of partitions = 9, it will skip the last 4
partitions from being added.
> MSCK Repair table should fix partitions in batches

> If a user attempts to run MSCK REPAIR TABLE on a directory with a large
> number of untracked partitions HMS will OOME. I suspect this is because it
> attempts to do one large bulk load in an effort to save time. Ultimately this
> can lead to a collection so large in size that HMS eventually hits an Out of
> Memory Exception.
> Instead I suggest that Hive include a configurable batch size that HMS can
> use to break up the load.
