outputs not populated for dynamic partitions at compile time ------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HIVE-1781 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1781 Project: Hive Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Namit Jain OSTHOOK: query: create table tstsrcpart like srcpart POSTHOOK: type: CREATETABLE POSTHOOK: Output: defa...@tstsrcpart PREHOOK: query: from srcpart insert overwrite table tstsrcpart partition (ds, hr) select key, value, ds, hr where ds <= '2008-04-08' PREHOOK: type: QUERY PREHOOK: Input: defa...@srcpart@ds=2008-04-08/hr=11 PREHOOK: Input: defa...@srcpart@ds=2008-04-08/hr=12 POSTHOOK: query: from srcpart As is evident from above, the outputs are not populated at all at compile time. This may create a problem for many components that depend on outputs: locking, authorization etc. However, the exact set of outputs may be needed for some other components (for example. the internal deployment in Facebook has a replication hook which is used for replication which needs the exact set of outputs). It may be a good idea to extend WriteEntity to include a flag which indicates whether the output is complete or not, and then the hook can look at that flag if needed -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
