iBenny created HIVE-18040: ----------------------------- Summary: the index can't be deleted if we make the table and the index are in the different databases. Key: HIVE-18040 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-18040 Project: Hive Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 1.2.1 Reporter: iBenny
If we made the table and the index are in the different databases, for example: create table db1.t -> create index t_i on db1.t -> rename db1.t to db2.t. In this case this knid of index can't be deleted successfully. Workaround: * Created the same index table in db1 (using create table t1 as select * from). * DROPPED the index using HIVE CLI (did not work via Beeline or HUE). * DROPPED the newly created indexed table on db1. * Checked the index - it was gone. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
