While performing any query on this table, I'm getting this error. Not able to delete database as well.

Were you able to resolve this? We are getting similar errors

Is this issue resolved?

@Mayank Bhatt @sundeep dande We had to contact Hortonworks support to fix it. As per them the metadata was corrupted. I don't have the steps to fix that.

P.S.One of the reasons why the metadata was getting corrupted was someone had created many managed table pointing external hdfs location. Though the table in question was not one of those tables.

@Mayank Bhatt @sundeep dande I faced the same issue too. When I changed the engine from tez to mr(mapreduce) it worked!
