---------------------------------
Summary: Enhancement required in Hcat feed replication
Key: FALCON-596
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FALCON-596
Project: Falcon
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: replication
Reporter: Suhas Vasu
Assignee: Suhas Vasu
Priority: Minor
Hcatalog always creates partitions in lower case, hence falcon should always
look for partitions by converting them to lower case
Ex:
(source table)
CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE in_table (word STRING, cnt INT) PARTITIONED BY (Year
STRING, Month STRING, Date STRING, Hour STRING, Minute STRING) STORED AS
TEXTFILE LOCATION '/user/suhas/hcat-data/in/';
(target table)
CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE replicated_in_table (word STRING, cnt INT) PARTITIONED BY
(Year STRING, Month STRING, Date STRING, Hour STRING, Minute STRING) STORED AS
TEXTFILE LOCATION '/user/suhas/hcat-data/replicated_in/';
The partitions in Hcat will be:
year=2014/month=08/date=05/hour=00/minute=00
year=2014/month=08/date=05/hour=00/minute=01
year=2014/month=08/date=05/hour=00/minute=02
year=2014/month=08/date=05/hour=00/minute=03
year=2014/month=08/date=05/hour=00/minute=04
In such case falcon replication is failing with:
