James Taylor commented on PHOENIX-3475:
---------------------------------------
Did you see my previous example and comments? They show how you access the meta
data of an index on a view and explain why there's no Phoenix metadata for the
HBase physical table.
> MetaData #getTables() API doesn't return view indexes
> -----------------------------------------------------

> Key: PHOENIX-3475
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PHOENIX-3475
> Project: Phoenix
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Akshita Malhotra
> Fix For: 4.9.0
>
>
> HBase migration tool uses DatabaseMetadata#getTables() API to retrieve the
> tables for copying data. We have found that API doesn't return base index
> tables ( _IDX_<base table name>)
> For testing purposes, we issue following DDL to generate the view and the
> corresponding view index:
> -CREATE VIEW IF NOT EXISTS MIGRATIONTEST_VIEW (OLD_VALUE_VIEW varchar) AS
> SELECT * FROM MIGRATIONTEST WHERE OLD_VALUE like 'E%'
> -CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS MIGRATIONTEST_VIEW_IDX ON MIGRATIONTEST_VIEW
> (OLD_VALUE_VIEW)
> By using HBase API, we were able to confirm that base index table
> (_IDX_MIGRATIONTEST) is created.
> Both jdbc DatabaseMetadata API and P* getMetaDataCache API doesn't seem to
> be returning view indexes. Also P*MetaData #getTableRef API return
> "TableNotFoundException" when attempted to fetch PTable corresponding to the
> base index table name.
