Arvind Prabhakar commented on HIVE-1176: ---------------------------------------- @John: done. Please see the new patch attachment - HIVE-1176-5.patch Since a lot of good points came out of the discussion on this jira, I took the liberty of adding them to the Hive wiki for posterity. You can find it [here|http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/Hive/TipsForAddingNewTests]. Please add to it any other points that you feel contributors should take into consideration while adding new tests. > 'create if not exists' fails for a table name with 'select' in it > ----------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-1176 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1176 > Project: Hadoop Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Metastore, Query Processor > Reporter: Prasad Chakka > Assignee: Arvind Prabhakar > Fix For: 0.6.0 > > Attachments: HIVE-1176-1.patch, HIVE-1176-2.patch, HIVE-1176-3.patch, > HIVE-1176-4.patch, HIVE-1176-5.patch, HIVE-1176.lib-files.tar.gz, > HIVE-1176.patch > > > hive> create table if not exists tmp_select(s string, c string, n int); > org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.metadata.HiveException: MetaException(message:Got > exception: javax.jdo.JDOUserException JDOQL Single-String query should always > start with SELECT) > at > org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.metadata.Hive.getTablesForDb(Hive.java:441) > at > org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.metadata.Hive.getTablesByPattern(Hive.java:423) > at > org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.parse.SemanticAnalyzer.analyzeCreateTable(SemanticAnalyzer.java:5538) > at > org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.parse.SemanticAnalyzer.analyzeInternal(SemanticAnalyzer.java:5192) > at > org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.parse.BaseSemanticAnalyzer.analyze(BaseSemanticAnalyzer.java:105) > at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.Driver.compile(Driver.java:275) > at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.Driver.runCommand(Driver.java:320) > at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.Driver.run(Driver.java:312) > at org.apache.hadoop.hive.cli.CliDriver.processCmd(CliDriver.java:123) > at > org.apache.hadoop.hive.cli.CliDriver.processLine(CliDriver.java:181) > at org.apache.hadoop.hive.cli.CliDriver.main(CliDriver.java:287) > at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) > at > sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39) > at > sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) > at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:597) > at org.apache.hadoop.util.RunJar.main(RunJar.java:156) > Caused by: MetaException(message:Got exception: javax.jdo.JDOUserException > JDOQL Single-String query should always start with SELECT) > at > org.apache.hadoop.hive.metastore.MetaStoreUtils.logAndThrowMetaException(MetaStoreUtils.java:612) > at > org.apache.hadoop.hive.metastore.HiveMetaStoreClient.getTables(HiveMetaStoreClient.java:450) > at > org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.metadata.Hive.getTablesForDb(Hive.java:439) > ... 15 more -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
