--------------------------------------------
> Do not allow non-numeric values in Hive table stats during an alter table
> -------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: IMPALA-12918
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-12918
> Project: IMPALA
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Catalog
> Affects Versions: Impala 4.0.0
> Reporter: Miklos Szurap
> Assignee: Kunal Siyag
> Priority: Major
> Labels: alter, alter-table, catalog-2024, newbie, ramp-up,
> stats, validation
>
> Hive table properties are string in their nature, however some of them have
> special meaning and should have numeric values, like the "totalSize",
> "numRows", "rawDataSize".
> Impala currently allows these to be set to non-numeric values (including
> empty string).
> From certain applications (like from Spark) we get quite obscure
> "NumberFormatException" errors while trying to access such broken tables.
> (see SPARK-47444)
> Impala should also validate "alter table" statements and not allow
> non-numeric values in the "totalSize", "numRows", "rawDataSize" table
> properties.
> For example a query which may break the table (after it can't be read from
> Spark):
> {code}
> [impalacoordinator:21000] default> alter table t1p set
> tblproperties('numRows'='', 'STATS_GENERATED_VIA_STATS_TASK'='true');
> {code}
> Note: beeline/Hive validates alter table statements with the "numRows" and
> "rawDataSize", the "totalSize" still needs validation there too.
