Quanlong Huang updated IMPALA-9669:
-----------------------------------
Priority: Critical (was: Major)
> loaded views are still returned as tables for GET_TABLES in LocalCatalog mode
> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: IMPALA-9669
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-9669
> Project: IMPALA
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Quanlong Huang
> Priority: Critical
> Attachments: normal_view_in_hive_editor.png,
> view_shown_as_table_in_impala_editor.png
>
>
> It's expected that unloaded views are returned as tables in legacy catalog
> mode, because they are represented as IncompleteTables which have no
> difference with normal tables. When the view is loaded (i.e. used once),
> Impala should be able to get its type and return it correctly for GET_TABLES
> request.
> However, in LocalCatalog mode, the types for loaded views are always TABLE.
> For reproducing the issue, there are no easy way to trigger GET_TABLES in
> command lines. The most easier way may be using HUE:
> * Make sure coordinators are in LocalCatalog mode.
> * Create a view and run a query on it to make sure it's loaded.
> * In HUE's Impala editor, the view is shown as table, no matter how many
> times we refresh the table list:
> !view_shown_as_table_in_impala_editor.png|width=493,height=160!
> * In HUE's Hive editor, the view is shown with a view logo:
> !normal_view_in_hive_editor.png|width=350,height=203!
