BELUGA BEHR created HIVE-16881: ---------------------------------- Summary: Make extractSqlBoolean More Consistent Key: HIVE-16881 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-16881 Project: Hive Issue Type: Improvement Components: Metastore Affects Versions: 2.1.1, 3.0.0 Reporter: BELUGA BEHR Priority: Trivial
{code:title=org.apache.hadoop.hive.metastore.MetaStoreDirectSql|borderStyle=solid} private static Boolean extractSqlBoolean(Object value) throws MetaException { // MySQL has booleans, but e.g. Derby uses 'Y'/'N' mapping. People using derby probably // don't care about performance anyway, but let's cover the common case. if (value == null) return null; if (value instanceof Boolean) return (Boolean)value; Character c = null; if (value instanceof String && ((String)value).length() == 1) { c = ((String)value).charAt(0); } if (c == null) return null; if (c == 'Y') return true; if (c == 'N') return false; throw new MetaException("Cannot extract boolean from column value " + value); } {code} It's not very clear here what the code intends. For example, if the _value_ is "YE" then the code returns _null_. If the _value_ is "Z" then an exception is thrown. # Change this to throw an exception when any invalid value is encountered # Add comments # User Apache Commons Library for parsing -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
