Description
Raising this on behalf of cdrome and selinazh.
Here's how to reproduce the problem:
CREATE TABLE foobar ( foo STRING, bar STRING ) PARTITIONED BY ( dt STRING, region STRING ) STORED AS RCFILE LOCATION '/tmp/foobar'; ALTER TABLE foobar ADD PARTITION ( dt='1', region='A' ) ; dfs -rm -R -skipTrash /tmp/foobar/dt=1; ALTER TABLE foobar DROP PARTITION ( dt='1' );
This causes a client-side error as follows:
15/02/26 23:08:32 ERROR exec.DDLTask: org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.metadata.HiveException: Unknown error. Please check logs.
