Apache Hadoop Hive Database (HCatalog and Metastore via JDBC): incremental harvesting detection and optimization The change detection for incremental harvesting has been improved with:
  • New database version statistics messages.
  • New miscellaneous option called -tblproperties.skip. You cannot import skip table properties that are independent of the structural metadata of the table, such as CreationTime, SerDe Library, or numRows that change when data changes. Skipping volatile table properties like operational metadata will prevent over-detection of changes and provide more efficient incremental harvesting.
