Szehon Ho commented on HIVE-8950: --------------------------------- Made an amount of test fixes. Now that columns come from deserializer, the comment becomes "" instead of null. Also, add an if check for setTableLocInTableProperties for non-external storage-handlers, and set ParquetHIveSerde.shouldStoreFieldsInMetastore to be false. > Add support in ParquetHiveSerde to create table schema from a parquet file > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-8950 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-8950 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Ashish Singh > Assignee: Ashish Singh > Priority: Major > Attachments: HIVE-8950.1.patch, HIVE-8950.10.patch, > HIVE-8950.2.patch, HIVE-8950.3.patch, HIVE-8950.4.patch, HIVE-8950.5.patch, > HIVE-8950.6.patch, HIVE-8950.7.patch, HIVE-8950.8.patch, HIVE-8950.9.patch, > HIVE-8950.patch > > > PARQUET-76 and PARQUET-47 ask for creating parquet backed tables without > having to specify the column names and types. As, parquet files store schema > in their footer, it is possible to generate hive schema from parquet file's > metadata. This will improve usability of parquet backed tables. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.14#76016)
