> For tables created without column definition in the DDL (but referencing the
> schema in the underlying file format like Avro),
> ObjectStore.validateTableCols throws an exception that doesn't include the
> table and db name. This makes it tedious to lookup table name in schema
> files.
> Example:
> {code}
> ERROR org.apache.hadoop.hive.metastore.ObjectStore: Error retrieving
> statistics via jdo
> MetaException(message:Column wpp_mbrshp_hix_ik doesn't exist.)
> at
> org.apache.hadoop.hive.metastore.ObjectStore.validateTableCols(ObjectStore.java:6061)
> at
> org.apache.hadoop.hive.metastore.ObjectStore.getMTableColumnStatistics(ObjectStore.java:6012)
> at
> org.apache.hadoop.hive.metastore.ObjectStore.access$1000(ObjectStore.java:160)
> at
> org.apache.hadoop.hive.metastore.ObjectStore$6.getJdoResult(ObjectStore.java:6084)
> at
> org.apache.hadoop.hive.metastore.ObjectStore$6.getJdoResult(ObjectStore.java:6076)
> {code}
> We should add database and the table name to the error message.
