Github user ChinmaySKulkarni commented on a diff in the pull request: https://github.com/apache/phoenix/pull/295#discussion_r176611190 --- Diff: phoenix-core/src/main/java/org/apache/phoenix/query/ConnectionQueryServicesImpl.java --- @@ -2405,16 +2413,26 @@ public Void call() throws Exception { openConnection(); hConnectionEstablished = true; boolean isDoNotUpgradePropSet = UpgradeUtil.isNoUpgradeSet(props); + boolean doesSystemCatalogAlreadyExist = false; --- End diff -- @JamesRTaylor A few follow-up questions from your comment: - If we were to call _ensureTableCreated_ at this point inside the init method, don't have the values of other arguments such as the families, splits, etc. which we would need for the admin.createTable call. Instead I propose splitting the _ensureTableCreated_ method and having another private method which just checks for the existence of system catalog and does client-server compatibility checks. We can reuse this stub inside _ensureTableCreated_ and make sure we don't do this again when called via _createTable_. - If we throw an UpgradeRequiredException in case an upgrade is required, the user will not get the connection object right? This also prevents the user from being able to run "EXECUTE UPGRADE". Instead I guess we can call _setUpgradeRequired_, log an error and return the connection object. This will disallow the user from running anything except "EXECUTE UPGRADE" since we have this snippet in place: ` if (conn.getQueryServices().isUpgradeRequired() && !conn.isRunningUpgrade() && stmt.getOperation() != Operation.UPGRADE) { throw new UpgradeRequiredException(); } `
