[jira] Commented: (HIVE-446) Implement TRUNCATE

["Adam Kramer (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-446?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12863193#action_12863193 ] 

Adam Kramer commented on HIVE-446:
----------------------------------

Another note: Sometimes I shut off hive.merge.mapfiles; because the extra mapreduce step really isn't worth it given that I'm effectively creating a temp table that I don't need to use again. The result is a lot of unnecessary inode usage, because I only need those inodes for one more query.

If I had this option, I would turn off hive.merge.mapfiles;, run my query, run the dependent query, and then truncate the first table to save inodes.
