---------------------------------------
Summary: direct SQL perf optimization cannot be tested well (yet)
Key: HBASE-9162
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-9162
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Sergey Shelukhin
Assignee: Sergey Shelukhin
HIVE-4051 introduced perf optimization that involves getting partitions
directly via SQL in metastore. Given that SQL queries might not work on all
datastores (and will not work on non-SQL ones), JDO fallback is in place.
Given that perf improvement is very large for short queries, it's on by default.
However, there's a problem with tests with regard to that. If SQL code is
broken, tests may fall back to JDO and pass. If JDO code is broken, SQL might
allow tests to pass.
We are going to disable SQL by default before the testing problem is resolved.
There are several possible solultions:
1) Separate build for this setting. Seems like an overkill...
2) Enable by default; disable by default in tests, create a clone of
TestCliDriver with a subset of queries that will exercise the SQL path.
3) Have some sort of test hook inside metastore that will run both ORM and SQL
and compare.
3') Or make a subclass of ObjectStore that will do that. ObjectStore is already
pluggable.
4) Write unit tests for one of the modes (JDO, as non-default?) and declare
that they are sufficient; disable fallback in tests.
3' seems like the easiest. For now we will disable SQL by default.
