Namit Jain created HIVE-3119:
--------------------------------
Summary: Cleanup MTable constructors
Key: HIVE-3119
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-3119
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Namit Jain
MTable has a lot of fields, and a common public constructor which takes all
the inputs. The burden is on ObjectStore to pass the appropriate parameters.
For example, the view parameters do not make sense for certain table types.
The view parameters and the link parameters can never be set together.
It would be good to breakup the constructor for MTable into multiple valid
constructors, and that reduces the chances of error from ObjectStore.
Although this is not directly linked to HIVE-2989, marking it a related jira
since links added more parameters to MTable, thereby increasing the problem.
