> Lets  consider, the  *"DFS"* is down , 
> And on executing an alter query say  *"alter table firsttable rename to secondtable"*.  
> the query execution fails with the following exception:
> {color:red} 
> InvalidOperationException(message:Unable to access old location hdfs://localhost:9000/user/hive/warehouse/firsttable for table default.firsttable)
> {color}
> Now after starting the *DFS* and then executing the same query , the client gets the following exception:
> {color:red}
> NoSuchObjectException(message:default.firsttable table not found)
> {color}
> h4.Root Cause
> In Alter Query execution flow, first *"MetaStore"* operation is executed successfully and then *"DFS"* operation is started. In this scenario, *"DFS"* is down. As a result, execution of the query failed and partial information of the operation is saved.
