> Metatool updateLocation warning on views

> Key: HIVE-11510
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-11510
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Database/Schema
> Affects Versions: 0.14.0
> Reporter: Eric Czech
> Assignee: Wei Zheng
> Attachments: HIVE-11510.1.patch, HIVE-11510.2.patch

> If views are present in a hive database, issuing a 'hive metatool
> -updateLocation' command will result in an error like this:
> ...
> Warning: Found records with bad LOCATION in SDS table..
> bad location URI: null
> bad location URI: null
> bad location URI: null
> ....
> Based on the source code for Metatool, it looks like there would then be a
> "bad location URI: null" message for every view and it also appears this is
> happening simply because the 'sds' table in the hive schema has a column
> called location that is NULL only for views.
