org.apache.hadoop.hive.metastore
Interface HiveMetaHook

public interface HiveMetaHook

HiveMetaHook defines notification methods which are invoked as part of transactions against the metastore, allowing external catalogs such as HBase to be kept in sync with Hive's metastore.

Implementations can use MetaStoreUtils.isExternalTable(org.apache.hadoop.hive.metastore.api.Table) to distinguish external tables from managed tables.

Method Summary

void	commitCreateTable(Table table) Called after successfully adding a new table definition to the metastore during CREATE TABLE.
void	commitDropTable(Table table, boolean deleteData) Called after successfully removing a table definition from the metastore during DROP TABLE.
void	preCreateTable(Table table) Called before a new table definition is added to the metastore during CREATE TABLE.
void	preDropTable(Table table) Called before a table definition is removed from the metastore during DROP TABLE.
void	rollbackCreateTable(Table table) Called after failure adding a new table definition to the metastore during CREATE TABLE.
void	rollbackDropTable(Table table) Called after failure removing a table definition from the metastore during DROP TABLE.
