Sergey Shelukhin updated HIVE-5304:
-----------------------------------
Summary: Hive results can depend on metastore's underlying datastore, if
autocreate is used (was: there are various string encoding problems in
metastore depending on underlying datastore)

> Key: HIVE-5304
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-5304
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Metastore
> Reporter: Sergey Shelukhin
>
> Hive uses JDOQL filters to optimize partition retrieval; recently direct SQL
> was added to optimize it further. Both of these methods may end up pushing
> StringCol op 'SomeString' to underlying SQL datastore. Many paths also pushes
> order by-s, although these are not as problematic.
> The problem is that different datastores handle string compares differently.
> While testing on Postgres, I see that results in different things, from
> innocent like order changes in "show partitions", to more serious like
> {code}
> alter table ptestfilter drop partition (c>='US', d<='2')
> {code}
> in drop_partitions_filter.q - in Derby, with which the .q.out file was
> generated, it drops "c=Uganda/d=2"; this also passes on MySQL (I ran tests
> with autocreated db); on Postgres with a db from the script it doesn't.
> Looks like we need to enforce collation in partition names and
> part_key_values-es; both in the create scripts, as well as during autocreate
> (via package.jdo?)
> EDIT:
> also affected are - show indexes. So all names need to be taken care of
> Then; describe_comment_nonascii.q fails against MySQL on autocreated db due
> to problems with commends.
