[jira] [Created] (HIVE-5550) Import fails for tables created with
default text and sequence file formats using HCatalog API
Venkatesh Seetharam created HIVE-5550:
-----------------------------------------
Summary: Import fails for tables created with default text and sequence file formats using HCatalog API
Key: HIVE-5550
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-5550
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 0.11.0
Reporter: Venkatesh Seetharam
A table was created using HCatalog API with out specifying the file format, it defaults to:
{code}
fileFormat=TextFile, inputformat=org.apache.hadoop.mapred.TextInputFormat, outputformat=org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.io.IgnoreKeyTextOutputFormat
{code}
But, when hive fetches the table from the metastore, it strangely replaces the output format with org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.io.HiveIgnoreKeyTextOutputFormat
and the comparison between source and target table fails.
The code in org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.parse.ImportSemanticAnalyzer#checkTable does a string comparison of classes and fails.
{code}
// check IF/OF/Serde
String existingifc = table.getInputFormatClass().getName();
String importedifc = tableDesc.getInputFormat();
String existingofc = table.getOutputFormatClass().getName();
String importedofc = tableDesc.getOutputFormat();
if ((!existingifc.equals(importedifc))
|| (!existingofc.equals(importedofc))) {
throw new SemanticException(
ErrorMsg.INCOMPATIBLE_SCHEMA
.getMsg(" Table inputformat/outputformats do not match"));
}
{code}
This only affects tables with text and sequence file formats but not rc or orc.
