INVALID_PROCEDURE_ARGUMENT

INVALID_PROCEDURE_ARGUMENT

Error message

Directory list cache is not enabled on this catalog

What it means

doInvalidateDirectoryListCache guard: the catalog is not configured with hive.cache.use-list-directory-cache (directory listing cache disabled), so calling the $invalidate_directory_list_cache procedure has nothing to invalidate and fails.
