Summary: Hive incorrectly rewrites create statements for VIEW Key: HIVE-18013 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-18013 Project: Hive Issue Type: Bug Components: Hive, SQL Affects Versions: 2.1.0 Reporter: Jaydene Green-Stevens I am encountering errors when using {{VIEW}} s as, when Hive rewrites the create statements unrelated query fragments are inserted, resulting in a malformed view statement that cannot then be parsed. The create statements I am using for each {{VIEW}} is as follows; {code:sql} CREATE VIEW bar.web_hits AS SELECT url FROM bar.web_hit_log WHERE ip_address NOT IN ( SELECT ip_address FROM bar.crawler WHERE active = true ) AND timestamp_gmt BETWEEN “a” AND “b”; CREATE VIEW bar.page_view_agg AS SELECT url AS page_url, COUNT(*) AS page_count FROM bar.web_hits a GROUP BY url ORDER BY page_count DESC; {code} I then have an {{INSERT}} statement which selects data from the previously created views and puts it into a table; {code:sql} INSERT OVERWRITE TABLE bar.view_result SELECT page_url, page_count FROM bar.page_view_agg; {code} The following error is produced from running the above query; {code} FAILED: SemanticException line 1:52 missing EOF at '.' near 'crawler' in definition of VIEW page_view_agg [ SELECT `a`.`url` AS `page_url`, COUNT(*) AS`crawler`.`ip_address``page_count` FROM ` bar`.`crawler` `a` GROUP`crawler`.`active`BY `a`.`url` ORDER BY page_count DESC ] used as page_view_agg at Line 3:5 {code} Running {{describe extended page_view_agg}} produces the following output (edited for simplicity); {code} page_url string page_count bigint viewOriginalText: SELECT url AS page_url, COUNT(*) AS page_count FROM bar.web_hits a GROUP BY url ORDER BY page_count DESC, viewExpandedText: SELECT `a`.`url` AS `page_url`, COUNT(*) AS`crawler`.`ip_address``page_count` FROM ` bar`.`crawler` `a` GROUP`crawler`.`active`BY `a`.`url` ORDER BY page_count DESC, {code} As you can see, it looks like the statement has been corrupted by the insertion of the unnecessary string {{`crawler`.`ip_address`}} on line 1. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
