########## File path: flink-connectors/flink-connector-hive/src/main/java/org/apache/flink/table/catalog/hive/HiveCatalogBase.java ########## @@ -89,6 +101,34 @@ private static IMetaStoreClient getMetastoreClient(HiveConf hiveConf) { } } + // ------ APIs ------ + + /** + * Validate input base table. + * + * @param catalogBaseTable the base table to be validated + * @throws IllegalArgumentException thrown if the input base table is invalid. + */ + protected abstract void validateCatalogBaseTable(CatalogBaseTable catalogBaseTable) Review comment: If you're concerned about giving user precise, useful information, throwing an exception isn't the best choice. For that, logging is probably better. Neverthelesss, CatalogException certainly sounds better, though it doesn't change the nature of the problem. Let's do this way for now. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
