Carl Steinbach commented on HIVE-1939: -------------------------------------- @John: Yup, you're right. The problem is that HIVE-1636 modified 'SHOW TABLES IN <db>' to throw an error when db doesn't exist. Previously in this situation the SHOW TABLES command just returned an empty result set. url_hook.q points the MetaStore to a new JDO URL and then runs 'SHOW TABLES'. In the past this caused the metastore to initialize a new metastore schema, but without creating the 'default' database. Since 'SHOW TABLES' wasn't checking for the existence of the default database the command succeeded with an empty result set. I think the correct fix for this problem is to make sure that the metastore creates the 'default' table if it does not already exist. > Fix test failure in TestContribCliDriver/url_hook.q > --------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-1939 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1939 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Metastore > Reporter: Carl Steinbach > Assignee: Carl Steinbach > Fix For: 0.7.0 > > -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
