Description
What would you like to be improved?
TableOperationDispatcher.purgeTable for unmanaged tables returns false when store.delete(ident, TABLE) throws NoSuchEntityException, even if the catalog purge succeeded. This contradicts the method’s own comment that store deletion outcome should not affect the returned result, and only the catalog result should be used. As a result, callers can receive false negatives (DropResponse(false)) for successful catalog purges.
How should we improve?
Align purgeTable with dropTable behavior: in the unmanaged branch, catch NoSuchEntityException, log a warning, and continue returning droppedFromCatalog instead of returning false. Keep throwing on other unexpected exceptions.
Here a test to help:
@Test
public void testPurgeUnmanagedTableWithMissingStoreEntityShouldUseCatalogResult()
throws IOException {
CatalogManager mockedCatalogManager = mock(CatalogManager.class);
EntityStore mockedStore = mock(EntityStore.class);
IdGenerator mockedIdGenerator = mock(IdGenerator.class);
CatalogManager.CatalogWrapper mockedCatalogWrapper = mock(CatalogManager.CatalogWrapper.class);
org.apache.gravitino.connector.capability.Capability mockedCapability =
mock(org.apache.gravitino.connector.capability.Capability.class);
TableOperationDispatcher dispatcherUnderTest =
new TableOperationDispatcher(mockedCatalogManager, mockedStore, mockedIdGenerator);
NameIdentifier tableIdent = NameIdentifier.of(metalake, catalog, "schema72", "table32");
NameIdentifier catalogIdent = NameIdentifier.of(metalake, catalog);
doReturn(mockedCatalogWrapper).when(mockedCatalogManager).loadCatalogAndWrap(catalogIdent);
doReturn(mockedCapability).when(mockedCatalogWrapper).capabilities();
doReturn(CapabilityResult.unsupported("unmanaged table"))
.when(mockedCapability)
.managedStorage(org.apache.gravitino.connector.capability.Capability.Scope.TABLE);
doReturn(true).when(mockedCatalogWrapper).doWithTableOps(any());
doThrow(new NoSuchEntityException("missing store entity"))
.when(mockedStore)
.delete(tableIdent, TABLE);
Assertions.assertTrue(dispatcherUnderTest.purgeTable(tableIdent));
}
