> Better error message in CLI on invalid column name
> --------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HIVE-2256
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2256
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: CLI, Query Processor
> Reporter: Sohan Jain
> Assignee: Sohan Jain
> Attachments: HIVE-2256.1.patch
>
>
> In the CLI, if a user inputs an incorrect column name, we currently just
> print the bad column name in the query. Typically, the user needs to
> "describe" the table to figure out the correct column.
> This patch prints out a list of valid column and partition names in the table
> when a user inputs an incorrect column name.
> e.g.,
> {{Error in semantic analysis: Invalid table alias or column reference
> 'col_does_not_exist' (possible column names are: col1, col2)}}
