Hi all, I would like to do union all with a field that is hardcoded in the request.
INSERT OVERWRITE TABLE all_dictionaries_ext SELECT name, id, category FROM dictionary UNION ALL SELECT NAME, ID, "CAMPAIGN" FROM md_campaigns Name type is String Id type is int Category type is string When I run this command I had an error : FAILED: SemanticException 4:47 Schema of both sides of union should match. _u1-subquery2 does not have the field category. Error encountered near token 'md_campaigns' I supposed that the error is cause by the String "CAMPAIGN" which should not have a type. How can do this kind of union ? The union all with 2 hard coded fields is ok. INSERT OVERWRITE TABLE all_dictionaries_ext SELECT NAME, ID, "CAMPAIGN" FROM md_campaigns UNION ALL SELECT NAME, ID, "AD_SERVER" FROM md_ad_servers UNION ALL SELECT NAME, ID, "AVERTISER" FROM md_advertisers UNION ALL SELECT NAME, ID, "AGENCIES" FROM md_agencies More debug info : 15/01/30 22:34:23 [main]: INFO parse.ParseDriver: Parsing command: INSERT OVERWRITE TABLE all_dictionaries_ext SELECT name, id, category FROM byoa_dictionary UNION ALL SELECT NAME, ID, "CAMPAIGN" FROM md_campaigns 15/01/30 22:34:23 [main]: INFO parse.ParseDriver: Parse Completed 15/01/30 22:34:23 [main]: INFO log.PerfLogger: </PERFLOG method=parse start=1422653663887 end=1422653663900 duration=13 from=org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.Driver> 15/01/30 22:34:23 [main]: INFO log.PerfLogger: <PERFLOG method=semanticAnalyze from=org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.Driver> 15/01/30 22:34:23 [main]: INFO parse.SemanticAnalyzer: Starting Semantic Analysis 15/01/30 22:34:23 [main]: INFO parse.SemanticAnalyzer: Completed phase 1 of Semantic Analysis 15/01/30 22:34:23 [main]: INFO parse.SemanticAnalyzer: Get metadata for source tables 15/01/30 22:34:23 [main]: INFO parse.SemanticAnalyzer: Get metadata for subqueries 15/01/30 22:34:23 [main]: INFO parse.SemanticAnalyzer: Get metadata for source tables 15/01/30 22:34:23 [main]: INFO parse.SemanticAnalyzer: Get metadata for subqueries 15/01/30 22:34:24 [main]: INFO parse.SemanticAnalyzer: Get metadata for destination tables 15/01/30 22:34:24 [main]: INFO parse.SemanticAnalyzer: Get metadata for source tables 15/01/30 22:34:24 [main]: INFO parse.SemanticAnalyzer: Get metadata for subqueries 15/01/30 22:34:24 [main]: INFO parse.SemanticAnalyzer: Get metadata for destination tables 15/01/30 22:34:24 [main]: INFO parse.SemanticAnalyzer: Get metadata for destination tables 15/01/30 22:34:24 [main]: INFO parse.SemanticAnalyzer: Completed getting MetaData in Semantic Analysis 15/01/30 22:34:24 [main]: INFO parse.SemanticAnalyzer: Not invoking CBO because the statement has too few joins FAILED: SemanticException 4:47 Schema of both sides of union should match. _u1-subquery2 does not have the field category.
