ACCUMULO_TABLE_DNE

Error message

Table %s does not exist

What it means

Thrown by AccumuloClient.renameTable when a RENAME TABLE statement targets a source Accumulo table that does not exist in the Accumulo instance. Before performing any rename, the connector validates the old table via tableManager.exists(oldTable.getFullTableName()); if it is absent, the rename is aborted with ACCUMULO_TABLE_DNE. This is a metadata-level check, so the table is missing either because it was never created, was dropped, or the schema/table name was mistyped.

Solutions

1. Verify the source table exists: run 'SHOW TABLES FROM old_schema' in Presto or 'tables' in the Accumulo shell for the configured namespace.
2. Recreate the missing table (CREATE TABLE) or restore it before retrying the rename.
3. Confirm the AccumuloClient configuration (instance, zookeepers, username, namespace) points at the Accumulo instance that actually holds the table.
4. Check for name typos or case differences in the qualified table name used in the RENAME statement.

Example fix

// before: renaming a table that was dropped out-of-band
ALTER TABLE myschema.events RENAME TO events_old;
// after: recreate or verify first
SHOW TABLES FROM myschema; -- confirm 'events' exists
ALTER TABLE myschema.events RENAME TO events_old;

// Presto: confirm the source table exists before renaming
String sql = "SELECT table_name FROM information_schema.tables " +
             "WHERE table_schema = 'myschema' AND table_name = 'events'";
boolean exists = !new PrestoStatementRunner(connector).queryForRows(sql).isEmpty();
if (!exists) throw new IllegalStateException("Cannot rename: myschema.events does not exist");

try {
    run("ALTER TABLE myschema.events RENAME TO events_old");
} catch (QueryFailedException e) {
    if (e.getMessage().contains("does not exist")) {
        log.warn("Source table missing; skipping rename");
    } else {
        throw e;
    }
}

When it happens

Trigger: Calling ALTER TABLE old_schema.old_table RENAME TO new_table (via PrestoQueryRunner/StatementClient) when the source table does not exist in Accumulo: table previously dropped out-of-band, table never created but cached in metadata, wrong connector/catalog, or Accumulo namespace mismatch in the fully-qualified table name.

Common situations: Developers drop the table directly in the Accumulo shell while Presto metadata still lists it; multi-environment setups where the table exists in a dev Accumulo but not prod; typos in schema or table name; cat/connector misconfiguration pointing at a different Accumulo instance or namespace prefix.
