[jira] [Commented] (HIVE-874) add partitions found during metastore check

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-874?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14392839#comment-14392839 ] 

Oz Nevo commented on HIVE-874:
------------------------------

I know its old - but can the msck also support the reverse operation - meaning create partitions based on directories added to HDFS?

> 'msck' just reports the list of partition directories that exist but do not have corresponding metadata. This can happen if a process outside of hive is populating the directories. Hive should support an option to 'msck' that would also add default metadata for these partitions.
