Zoltan Haindrich commented on HIVE-24596: ----------------------------------------- Yes, reducing the round-trips in problematic cases would be very usefull! I'm still a bit confused; based on the description I've saw so far I (somehow) was expecting sql statements as output...and I kinda still feel like that should be the case. note that in the PR 'explain ddl' outputs seem more like standard explains...so I feel like I'm missing basic with the concept. Maybe it will be easier to understand your idea thru an example: {code} $ create table t (a integer); $ create table t2 (a integer); $ explain ddl select 1 from t join t2 where t.a=t2.a; {code} for the above I would expect to see a "create table t (a integer)" in the output...could you give a theoretical transcript? > Explain ddl for debugging > ------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-24596 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-24596 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Rajesh Balamohan > Assignee: Harshit Gupta > Priority: Major > Labels: pull-request-available > Time Spent: 20m > Remaining Estimate: 0h > > For debugging query issues, basic details like table schema, statistics, > partition details, query plans are needed. > It would be good to have "explain ddl" support, which can generate these > details.
