I’m looking at https://issues.cloudera.org/browse/IMPALA-1654, which has some
new syntax for statements like SHOW FILES and ALTER TABLE, to apply operators
like > and <= to partition specs.
In what I think is the latest Impala 2.7 (the internal Cloudera nightly build
machines), I get an error like so:
[nightly-unsecure-2.cloudera_internal_hostname:21000] > show files in t1
partition (y > 1);
Query: show files in t1 partition (y > 1)
ERROR: AnalysisException: Syntax error in line 1:
show files in t1 partition (y > 1)
^
Encountered: >
Expected: =
CAUSED BY: Exception: Syntax error
Does this mean that IMPALA-1654 isn’t in Impala 2.7, or it’s intended to be but
the patch hasn’t been fully merged / cherry-picked, or I’m looking in the wrong
place to verify the 2.7 functionality?
Thanks,
John
