Siying Dong commented on HIVE-1374: ----------------------------------- Communicated with people who asked for this feature. Basically, what they want is a mode that checks syntax and doesn't fail when a table or partition doesn't exist, or more simply, it doesn't go to metastore to check objects at all. > Query compile-only option > ------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-1374 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1374 > Project: Hadoop Hive > Issue Type: New Feature > Affects Versions: 0.6.0 > Reporter: Paul Yang > Assignee: Siying Dong > > A compile-only option might be useful for helping users quickly prototype > queries, fix errors, and do test runs.
