Delete a Dataproc Metastore service

This page explains how to delete a Dataproc Metastore service.

You might want to delete your Dataproc Metastore service if you chose some configuration settings that can't be changed, such as the service name or the Hive metastore version.

Before you begin

• Enable Dataproc Metastore in your project.
• Create a Dataproc Metastore service.

Required roles

To get the permission that you need to delete a Dataproc Metastore service, ask your administrator to grant you the following IAM roles on your project, based on the principle of least privilege:

• Grant full control of Dataproc Metastore resources (roles/metastore.editor)
• Grant full access to all Dataproc Metastore resources, including IAM policy administration (roles/metastore.admin)

For more information about granting roles, see Manage access.

This predefined role contains the metastore.services.delete permission, which is required to delete a Dataproc Metastore service.

You might also be able to get this permission with custom roles or other predefined roles.

For more information about specific Dataproc Metastore roles and permissions, see Dataproc Metastore IAM overview.

Delete a service

The following instructions demonstrate how to delete a Dataproc Metastore service.

Considerations

• Your Cloud Storage bucket isn't automatically deleted when you delete your Dataproc Metastore. To delete a bucket, see Deleting buckets.

• After deleting a Dataproc Metastore, auto-created VPC Network Peering routes used by the service persist for up to 3 hours. Note that if any other Dataproc Metastore services continue to use these VPC Network Peering routes, they aren't deleted.

Caution: Deleting a service is permanent. Once deleted, a service can't be restored. You can, however, quickly create new Dataproc Metastore services as you need them.
