Hi,

I am having a cluster setup on EC2 with Hadoop version 0.20.2 and Hive
version 0.8.1 (I configured everything) . I have created a table using :-

CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE XXX ( YYY )PARTITIONED BY ( ZZZ )ROW FORMAT DELIMITED
FIELDS TERMINATED BY 'WWW' LOCATION 's3://my-location/data/';

Now I am trying to recover partition using :-

ALTER TABLE XXX RECOVER PARTITIONS;

but I am getting this error :- "FAILED: Parse Error: line 1:12 cannot
recognize input near 'XXX' 'RECOVER' 'PARTITIONS' in alter table statement"

Doing same steps on a cluster setup on EMR with Hadoop version 1.0.3 and
Hive version 0.8.1 (Configured by EMR), works fine.

So is this a version issue or am I missing some configuration changes in
EC2 setup ?
I am not able to find exact solution for this problem on internet. Please
help me.

Thanks,
Chunky.

The RECOVER PARTITIONS is an enhancement added by Amazon to their version
of Hive.

Hi Dean,

Actually I was having Hadoop and Hive cluster on EMR and I have S3 storage
containing logs which updates daily and having partition with date(dt). And
I was using this recover partition.
Now I wanted to shift to EC2 and have my own Hadoop and Hive cluster. So,
what is the alternate of using recover partition in this case, if you have
any idea ?
I found one way of individually partitioning all dates, so I have to write
script for that to do so for all dates. Is there any easiest way other than
this ?

Thanks,
Chunky

Writing a script to add the external partitions individually is the only way I know of.

Recover partitions should work the same way for different file systems.

Chunky,
I have used "recover partitions" command on EMR, and that worked fine.

However, take a look at https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-874. Seems
like msck command in Apache Hive does the same thing. Try it out and let us
know it goes.

Hi Mark,
I tried msck, but it is not working for me. I have written a python script
to partition the data individually.

Thank you Edward, Mark and Dean.

Glad to hear, Chunky.

Out of curiosity, what errors did you get when using msck?

Hi Mark,
I didn't get any error.
I ran this on hive console:-
         "msck table Table_Name;"
It says Ok and showed the execution time as 1.050 sec.
But when I checked partitions for table using
          "show partitions Table_Name;"
It didn't show me any partitions.

Thanks,
Chunky.

Chunky,
You should have run:
msck repair table <Table name>;

Sorry, I should have made it clear in my last reply. I have added an entry
to Hive wiki for benefit of others:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/LanguageManual+DDL#LanguageManualDDL-Recoverpartitions

Hi Mark,
Sorry, I forgot to mention. I have also tried
                msck repair table <Table name>;
and same output I got which I got from msck only.
Do I need to do any other settings for this to work, because I have
prepared Hadoop and Hive setup from start on EC2.

Thanks,
Chunky.

Chunky,
I just tried it myself. It turns out that the directory you are adding as
partition has to be empty for msck repair to work. This is obviously
sub-optimal and there is a JIRA in place (
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-3231) to fix it.

So, I'd suggest you keep an eye out for the next version for that fix to
come in. In the meanwhile, run msck after you create your partition
directory but before you populate your directory with data.

Mark

Okay Mark, I will be looking into this JIRA regularly.
Thanks again for helping.
Chunky.
