--------------------------------------
Status: Patch Available (was: Open)
> INFORMATION_SCHEMA: schematool for setting it up is not idempotent
> ------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HIVE-16942
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-16942
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 3.0.0
> Reporter: Carter Shanklin
> Assignee: Gunther Hagleitner
> Attachments: HIVE-16942.1.patch

> If you run schematool to set up information schema, but the SYS database
> already exists, here's what happens:
> {code}
> [vagrant@trunk apache-hive-3.0.0-SNAPSHOT-bin]$ schematool -metaDbType mysql
> -dbType hive -initSchema -url jdbc:hive2://localhost:10000/default -driver
> org.apache.hive.jdbc.HiveDriver
> Metastore connection URL: jdbc:hive2://localhost:10000/default
> Metastore Connection Driver : org.apache.hive.jdbc.HiveDriver
> Metastore connection User: hive
> Starting metastore schema initialization to 3.0.0
> Initialization script hive-schema-3.0.0.hive.sql
> Error: org.apache.hive.service.cli.HiveSQLException: Error while processing
> statement: FAILED: Execution Error, return code 1 from
> org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.DDLTask. Database SYS already exists
> at
> org.apache.hive.service.cli.operation.Operation.toSQLException(Operation.java:315)
> at
> org.apache.hive.service.cli.operation.SQLOperation.runQuery(SQLOperation.java:254)
> {code}
> Why is this a problem you ask?
> If you run schematool without hive.metastore.db.type set (or set to the wrong
> thing), it will create the sys database but fail to create any of the tables
> within it. If you go and fix hive.metastore.db.type and re-run you'll get
> this failure until you drop the SYS database (which must be done as the hive
> user).
> Can the init script use "create database if not exists sys" rather than just
> "create database sys"?
