[jira] Created: (HIVE-1666) retry metadata operation in case of an failure

retry metadata operation in case of an failure
----------------------------------------------

                 Key: HIVE-1666
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1666
             Project: Hadoop Hive
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Query Processor
            Reporter: Namit Jain
            Assignee: Paul Yang


If a user is trying to insert into a partition,

insert overwrite table T partition (p) select ..


it is possible that the directory gets created, but the metadata creation of T@p fails - 
currently, we will just throw an error. The final directory has been created.

It will be useful to at-least retry the metadata operation.
