@saivenkatg55  I have tried to analyze your situation but with access to the Linux box it rather difficult,but I think there is a workaround.   The chattr linux command makes important files IMMUTABLE (Unchangeable).   The immutable bit [ +i  ] can only be set by superuser (i.e root) user or a user with sudo privileges can be able to set. This will prevent the file from being deleted forcefully, renamed or change the permissions, but it won’t be allowed says 'Operation not permitted“' # ls -al /var/run/hadoop-yarn/yarn/ total 8 . .. -rw-r--r-- 1 yarn hadoop 0 Dec 24 09:34 hadoop-yarn-nodemanager.pid   Set immutable bit # chattr +i hadoop-yarn-nodemanager.pid   Verify the attribute with command the below command # lsattr ----i--------e-- ./hadoop-yarn-nodemanager.pid   The normal ls command shows no difference # ls -al /var/run/hadoop-yarn/yarn/ total 8 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Dec 24 09:34 . drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Dec 24 09:34 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 yarn hadoop 0 Dec 24 09:34 hadoop-yarn-nodemanager.pid   Deletion protection # rm -rf /var/run/hadoop-yarn/yarn/hadoop-yarn-nodemanager.pid rm: cannot remove ‘/var/run/hadoop-yarn/yarn/hadoop-yarn-nodemanager.pid’: Operation not permitted   Permission change  protected # chmod 755  /var/run/hadoop-yarn/yarn/hadoop-yarn-nodemanager.pid chmod: changing permissions of ‘/var/run/hadoop-yarn/yarn/hadoop-yarn-nodemanager.pid’: Operation not permitted How to unset attribute on Files # chattr -i /var/run/hadoop-yarn/yarn/hadoop-yarn-nodemanager.pid After resetting permissions, verify the immutable status of files using lsattr command # lsattr ---------------- ./var/run/hadoop-yarn/yarn/hadoop-yarn-nodemanager.pid   Please do that and revert      ...

@Prakashcit  That by design: A NOVALIDATE constraint is basically a constraint that can be enabled but for which hive will not check the existing data to determine whether there might be data that currently violate the constraint. This is useful if we know there’s data that violates the constraint but we want to quickly put on a constraint to prevent further violations, with the intention to clean up any possible violations at some future point in time. It’s also potentially useful if we know the data is clean and so want to prevent the potentially significant overheads of hive having to check all the data to ensure there are indeed no violations. ...
