Carl Steinbach commented on HIVE-1939:
--------------------------------------

Review request: https://reviews.apache.org/r/469/

This patch moves the url_hook.q testcase from the contrib/positive directory to 
the contrib/negative directory. As I noted in my previous comment, this 
testcase should always have thrown an error, but until recently this fact was 
masked by another bug in the implementation of SHOW TABLES. That other bug was 
fixed in HIVE-1636, which consequently caused the error to start popping up in 
url_hook.

I spent a lot of time trying to resolve the underlying problem (described in 
HIVE-2029), only to convince myself that this will require substantial changes 
to the HiveMetaStore class, which I think run the risk of destabilizing the 
branch. Consequently, I propose backporting this patch to the 0.7 branch in 
order to resolve the test failure, and then investigate and fix the real 
problem on trunk in HIVE-2029.
