------------------------------
Summary: HCatalog is ignoring user specified avro schema in the
table definition
Key: HIVE-11201
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-11201
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Bug
Components: HCatalog
Affects Versions: 1.2.0
Reporter: Bing Li
Assignee: Bing Li
Priority: Critical
HCatalog is ignoring user specified avro schema in the table definition ,
instead generating its own avro based from hive meta store.
By generating its own schema will result in mismatch names. For exmple Avro
fields name are Case Sensitive. By generating it's own schema will result in
incorrect schema written to the avro file , and result select fail on read.
And also Even if user specified schema does not allow null , when data is
written using Hcatalog , it will write a schema that will allow null.
For example in the table , user specified , all CAPITAL letters in the schema
, and record name as LINEITEM. The schema should be written as it is. Instead
Hcatalog ignores it and generated its own avro schema from the hive table case.
