[jira] [Commented] (HIVE-2980) Show a warning or an error when the data directory is empty or not existing

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2980?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13261142#comment-13261142 ] 

Ashutosh Chauhan commented on HIVE-2980:
----------------------------------------

This certainly is not an error condition. Table with no data (dir) is a valid use case. I am not even sure about warning. When yo do select on empty table, you get 0 records back, what else do you expect?

> It looks like a good idea to show a warning or an error when the data directory is missing or empty.
> This will help in cut down the debugging time as well a good information to have on the deleted data
