Xingwen Zhang commented on HIVE-7224: ------------------------------------- We would like to report that "--incremental=true" in Beeline is not compatible with Binary columns (at least for queries like "select * from some_table_with_a_binary_column limit 10;"). The error trace we got was: Error: Invalid column type: -2 (state=,code=0) java.sql.SQLException: Invalid column type: -2 at org.apache.hive.jdbc.JdbcColumn.columnDisplaySize(JdbcColumn.java:94) at org.apache.hive.jdbc.HiveResultSetMetaData.getColumnDisplaySize(HiveResultSetMetaData.java:60) at org.apache.hive.beeline.IncrementalRows.<init>(IncrementalRows.java:55) at org.apache.hive.beeline.BeeLine.print(BeeLine.java:1570) at org.apache.hive.beeline.Commands.execute(Commands.java:745) at org.apache.hive.beeline.Commands.sql(Commands.java:657) at org.apache.hive.beeline.BeeLine.dispatch(BeeLine.java:794) at org.apache.hive.beeline.BeeLine.begin(BeeLine.java:661) at org.apache.hive.beeline.BeeLine.mainWithInputRedirection(BeeLine.java:366) at org.apache.hive.beeline.BeeLine.main(BeeLine.java:349) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:57) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:606) at org.apache.hadoop.util.RunJar.main(RunJar.java:208) The error was gone when we reverted back to " "--incremental=false". BTW: we are using Hive 0.12. > Set incremental printing to true by default in Beeline > ------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HIVE-7224 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-7224 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Clients, JDBC > Affects Versions: 0.13.0 > Reporter: Vaibhav Gumashta > Assignee: Vaibhav Gumashta > Fix For: 0.14.0 > > Attachments: HIVE-7224.1.patch > > > See HIVE-7221. > By default beeline tries to buffer the entire output relation before printing > it on stdout. This can cause OOM when the output relation is large. However, > beeline has the option of incremental prints. We should keep that as the > default. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
