Hi Dev, Currently temporary generic tables cannot work with hive catalog [1]. When hive catalog is chosen as the current catalog, planner will use HiveTableFactory to create source/sink for the temporary table. HiveTableFactory cannot tell whether a table is temporary or not, and considers it as a Hive table, which leads to job failure. I've discussed with Jingsong offline and we believe one solution is to make planner avoid using catalog table factory for temporary tables. But I'd also like to hear more opinions from others whether this is the right way to go. I think a possible alternative is to add an *isTemporary* field to TableSourceFactory.Context & TableSinkFactory.Context, so that HiveTableFactory knows how to handle such tables. What do you think?
