Alan Gates created HIVE-8605: -------------------------------- Summary: HIVE-5799 breaks backward compatibility for time values in config Key: HIVE-8605 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-8605 Project: Hive Issue Type: Bug Components: Configuration Affects Versions: 0.14.0 Reporter: Alan Gates Assignee: Alan Gates Priority: Blocker Fix For: 0.14.0
It is legal for long values in the config file to have an L or for float values to have an f. For example, the default value for hive.compactor.check.interval was 300L. As part of HIVE-5799, many long values were converted to TimeUnit. Attempts to read these values now throw "java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid time unit l" We need to change this to ignore the L or f, so that users existing config files don't break. I propose to do this by changing HiveConf.unitFor to detect the L or f and interpret it to mean the default time unit. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
