Carl Steinbach commented on HIVE-3136: -------------------------------------- Here's what the output of DESCRIBE EXTENDED looks like after it gets processed with QTestUtil.checkCliDriverResults: {noformat} PREHOOK: query: desc extended tbl2 PREHOOK: type: DESCTABLE POSTHOOK: query: desc extended tbl2 POSTHOOK: type: DESCTABLE col string p string #### A masked pattern was here #### {noformat} And here's what it looked like before diff masking: {noformat} col string p string Detailed Table Information Table(tableName:tbl2, dbName:default, owner:carl, createTime:1339652050, lastAccessTime:0, retention:0, sd:StorageDescriptor(cols:[FieldSchema(name:col, type:string, comment:null), FieldSchema(name:p, type:string, comment:null)], location:pfile:/Users/carl/Work/repos/hive-test/build/ql/test/data/warehouse/tbl2, inputFormat:org.apache.hadoop.mapred.TextInputFormat, outputFormat:org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.io.HiveIgnoreKeyTextOutputFormat, compressed:false, numBuckets:-1, serdeInfo:SerDeInfo(name:null, serializationLib:org.apache.hadoop.hive.serde2.lazy.LazySimpleSerDe, parameters:{serialization.format=1}), bucketCols:[], sortCols:[], parameters:{}), partitionKeys:[FieldSchema(name:p, type:string, comment:null)], parameters:{last_modified_by=carl, last_modified_time=1339652051, PROTECT_MODE=NO_DROP_CASCADE, transient_lastDdlTime=1339652051}, viewOriginalText:null, viewExpandedText:null, tableType:MANAGED_TABLE) {noformat} The problem with this is that many tests depend on DESC EXTENDED to verify the contents of the StorageDescriptor, view properties, tableType, etc, etc, and all of that information is currently getting masked out. > QTestUtil diff masking masks out most of 'DESCRIBE EXTENDED' output > ------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-3136 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-3136 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Testing Infrastructure > Reporter: Carl Steinbach > -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
