Alexander Kolbasov commented on HIVE-18294: ------------------------------------------- [~ekoifman] There are two ways of specifying external tables: using tableType and using table parameter {{EXTERNAL}} set to true. Some parts of the code use one method and some use another method, HIVE-19253 has some discussion about it. I am trying to clean this up a bit so I need to understand the intention in various places that use it. > add switch to make acid table the default > ----------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-18294 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-18294 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: Transactions > Affects Versions: 3.0.0 > Reporter: Eugene Koifman > Assignee: Eugene Koifman > Priority: Major > Fix For: 3.0.0 > > Attachments: HIVE-18294.01.patch, HIVE-18294.03.patch, > HIVE-18294.04.patch, HIVE-18294.05.patch > > > it would be convenient for testing to have a switch that enables the behavior > where all suitable table tables (currently ORC + not sorted) are > automatically created with transactional=true, ie. full acid. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
