Syed S. Albiz commented on HIVE-1496: ------------------------------------- I've been looking at this for a while, unfortunately, since the population job requires the index table to exist so that it can do an INSERT OVERWRITE (...) into it, the approach we discussed using a dummy object will not work as expected. I think the only way to make this work will be to do the ms transaction to create the index table immediately in the SemanticAnalyzer, with a special case if necessary for EXPLAINs such that the code is not executed if part of an EXPLAIN statement. > enhance CREATE INDEX to support immediate index build > ----------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-1496 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1496 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Indexing > Affects Versions: 0.7.0, 0.8.0 > Reporter: John Sichi > Assignee: Syed S.
