Lefty Leverenz commented on HIVE-12184: --------------------------------------- Good docs, [~ngangam]. The separate section works well. I added some version information in the old DESCRIBE sections, including one in Display Column Statistics that needs your verification. If that's okay, we can remove the TODOC2.0 label. * [Display Column Statistics | https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/LanguageManual+DDL#LanguageManualDDL-DisplayColumnStatistics] Question: The old syntax in Describe Partition doesn't include an optional column clause, but your new section indicates that it went before the partition clause in previous releases. Did describe partition always allow a column clause or was that introduced recently? (If it's always been there, we can add it to the old syntax with a pointer to the new 2.0.0+ section but no other version information.) * [Describe Partition | https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/LanguageManual+DDL#LanguageManualDDL-DescribePartition] > DESCRIBE of fully qualified table fails when db and table name match and > non-default database is in use > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-12184 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-12184 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Components: SQL > Affects Versions: 1.2.1 > Reporter: Lenni Kuff > Assignee: Naveen Gangam > Labels: TODOC2.0 > Fix For: 2.0.0 > > Attachments: HIVE-12184.10.patch, HIVE-12184.10.patch, > HIVE-12184.2.patch, HIVE-12184.3.patch, HIVE-12184.4.patch, > HIVE-12184.5.patch, HIVE-12184.6.patch, HIVE-12184.7.patch, > HIVE-12184.8.patch, HIVE-12184.9.patch, HIVE-12184.patch > > > DESCRIBE of fully qualified table fails when db and table name match and > non-default database is in use. > Repro: > {code} > : jdbc:hive2://localhost:10000/default> create database foo; > No rows affected (0.116 seconds) > 0: jdbc:hive2://localhost:10000/default> create table foo.foo(i int); > 0: jdbc:hive2://localhost:10000/default> describe foo.foo; > +-----------+------------+----------+--+ > | col_name | data_type | comment | > +-----------+------------+----------+--+ > | i | int | | > +-----------+------------+----------+--+ > 1 row selected (0.049 seconds) > 0: jdbc:hive2://localhost:10000/default> use foo; > 0: jdbc:hive2://localhost:10000/default> describe foo.foo; > Error: Error while processing statement: FAILED: Execution Error, return code > 1 from org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.DDLTask.
