Vandana Ayyalasomayajula updated HCATALOG-89:
---------------------------------------------
Description:
HCatalog CLI currently does not support the "STORED BY" token from HIVE, which
is used to create non-native tables (for example in HBase). This feature will
help users in creating HBase tables and then enable them to read/write to those
tables using the HBase storage handler.
In addition, the "CreateTableHook" during the post analysis phase (
"postAnalyze" method ) checks for authorization to create table. This
authorization would fail as there is no native table for tables created by
"STORED BY" tokens. The "postAnalyze" method should first check if there exists
a storage handler for the DDL task, if yes, then it should not call the
"authorize" method. In future, this authorization process should be pushed to
the storage handlers.
