删除配置单元分区外部表，但保留分区

Question

当使用外部配置单元表时，是否有一种方法可以删除目录中的数据，但通过查询保留分区。请注意，我不想删除表并重新创建它。我只想清空底层文件夹并重新启动一个进程。我的表很大，按年、月、日期和小时划分分区，手动重新创建分区需要大量时间。

谢谢

截断表...删除所有数据。
截断表分区(...)删除特定分区的数据。

保留目录结构。

应首先将外部工作台转换成带槽的。例如

alter table t set tblproperties('EXTERNAL'='FALSE');

alter table t set tblproperties('EXTERNAL'='TRUE');

create table t (i int) partitioned by (x char(1));
set hive.exec.dynamic.partition.mode=nonstrict;
insert into t partition (x) values (1,'A'),(2,'B'),(3,'C');
alter table t set tblproperties('EXTERNAL'='TRUE');

select * from t;

+-----+-----+
| t.i | t.x |
+-----+-----+
|   1 | A   |
|   2 | B   |
|   3 | C   |
+-----+-----+

dfs -ls -R /user/hive/warehouse/t;

drwxrwxrwx   - cloudera supergroup          0 2017-03-28 11:40 /user/hive/warehouse/t/x=A
-rwxrwxrwx   1 cloudera supergroup          2 2017-03-28 11:40 /user/hive/warehouse/t/x=A/000000_0
drwxrwxrwx   - cloudera supergroup          0 2017-03-28 11:40 /user/hive/warehouse/t/x=B
-rwxrwxrwx   1 cloudera supergroup          2 2017-03-28 11:40 /user/hive/warehouse/t/x=B/000000_0
drwxrwxrwx   - cloudera supergroup          0 2017-03-28 11:40 /user/hive/warehouse/t/x=C
-rwxrwxrwx   1 cloudera supergroup          2 2017-03-28 11:40 /user/hive/warehouse/t/x=C/000000_0

truncate table t partition (x='B');

alter table t set tblproperties('EXTERNAL'='FALSE');

truncate table t partition (x='B');

select * from t;

+-----+-----+
| t.i | t.x |
+-----+-----+
|   1 | A   |
|   3 | C   |
+-----+-----+

dfs -ls -R /user/hive/warehouse/t;

drwxrwxrwx   - cloudera supergroup          0 2017-03-28 11:40 /user/hive/warehouse/t/x=A

truncate table t;

+-----+-----+
| t.i | t.x |
+-----+-----+

dfs -ls -R /user/hive/warehouse/t;

drwxrwxrwx   - cloudera supergroup          0 2017-03-28 11:43 /user/hive/warehouse/t/x=A

alter table t set tblproperties('EXTERNAL'='TRUE');
