Juan Yu commented on HIVE-8863: ------------------------------- Hi [~Prabhu Joseph] Thanks for looking at this issue. I use hive 0.12. just compute table statistics is fine, but after compute column statistics, I cannot drop the table. Could you try " analyze table Test compute statistics for columns col"? you can verify if there is any record inserted into TAB_COL_STATS. once there are records, you cannot drop table "Test". > Cannot drop table with uppercase name after "compute statistics for columns" > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-8863 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-8863 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Metastore > Reporter: Juan Yu > > Create a table with uppercase name Test, > run "analyze table Test compute statistics for columns col1" > After this, you cannot drop the table by > drop table Test; > Got error: > NestedThrowablesStackTrace: > java.sql.BatchUpdateException: Cannot delete or update a parent row: a > foreign key constraint fails ("hive2"."TAB_COL_STATS", CONSTRAINT > "TAB_COL_STATS_FK" FOREIGN KEY ("TBL_ID") REFERENCES "TBLS" ("TBL_ID")) > workaround is to use lowercase table name > drop table test; -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
