Sushanth Sowmyan created HIVE-6406: -------------------------------------- Summary: Introduce immutable-table table property and if set, disallow insert-into Key: HIVE-6406 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-6406 Project: Hive Issue Type: Sub-task Reporter: Sushanth Sowmyan Assignee: Sushanth Sowmyan
As part of HIVE-6405's attempt to make HCatalog and Hive behave in similar ways with regards to immutable tables, this is a companion task to introduce the notion of an immutable table, wherein all tables are not immutable by default, and have this be a table property. If this property is set for a table, and we attempt to write to a table that already has data (or a partition), disallow "INSERT INTO" into it from hive. This property being set will allow hive to mimic HCatalog's current immutable-table property. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.5#6160)
