MSCK
MSCK REPAIR TABLE命令主要是用来解决通过hdfs dfs -put或者hdfs api写入hive分区表的数据在hive中无法被查询到的问题。
我们知道hive有个服务叫metastore，这个服务主要是存储一些元数据信息，比如数据库名，表名或者表的分区等等信息。如果不是通过hive的insert等插入语句，很多分区信息在metastore中是没有的。
MSCK命令
Hive stores a list of partitions for each table in its metastore. If, however, new partitions are directly added to HDFS (say by using hadoop fs -put command) or removed from HDFS, the metastore (and hence Hive) will not be aware of these changes to partition information unless the user runs ALTER TABLE table_name ADD/DROP PARTITION commands on each of the newly added or removed partitions, respectively.
However, users can run a metastore check command with the repair table option:MSCK [REPAIR] TABLE table_name [ADD/DROP/SYNC PARTITIONS];
which will update metadata about partitions to the Hive metastore for partitions for which such metadata doesn't already exis
