Lefty Leverenz commented on HIVE-5297: -------------------------------------- Doc note: This added *hive.typecheck.on.insert* to HiveConf.java, so it needs to be documented in the wiki. (HIVE-10307 extends the parameter in release 1.2.0.) * [Configuration Properties -- Query and DDL Execution | https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/Configuration+Properties#ConfigurationProperties-QueryandDDLExecution] > Hive does not honor type for partition columns > ---------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-5297 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-5297 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Components: CLI > Affects Versions: 0.11.0 > Reporter: Vikram Dixit K > Assignee: Vikram Dixit K > Labels: TODOC12 > Fix For: 0.12.0 > > Attachments: HIVE-5297.1.patch, HIVE-5297.2.patch, HIVE-5297.3.patch, > HIVE-5297.4.patch, HIVE-5297.5.patch, HIVE-5297.6.patch, HIVE-5297.7.patch, > HIVE-5297.8.patch > > > Hive does not consider the type of the partition column while writing > partitions. Consider for example the query: > {noformat} > create table tab1 (id1 int, id2 string) PARTITIONED BY(month string,day int) > row format delimited fields terminated by ','; > alter table tab1 add partition (month='June', day='second'); > {noformat} > Hive accepts this query. However if you try to select from this table and > insert into another expecting schema match, it will insert nulls instead. We > should throw an exception on such user error at the time the partition > addition/load happens. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
