CREATE VIEW followup: add a "table type" enum attribute in metastore's MTable, and also null out irrelevant attributes for MTable instances which describe views -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HIVE-1068 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1068 Project: Hadoop Hive Issue Type: Improvement Components: Metastore Affects Versions: 0.6.0 Reporter: John Sichi Assignee: John Sichi Fix For: 0.6.0 Zheng's description: 5. TODO: Metadata change: We store "view" definitions in the same metadata table that we store "table" definitions. Shall we add a field "table type" so we know whether it's a table, external table, view, or materialized view in the future. We should clean up the additional useless fields in "view" - the test output shows that we are storing some garbage information for views. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
