Chao Sun commented on HIVE-12727: --------------------------------- I'm actually a little confused about this. From the code: {code} private static String makeMessage(String what, ConfVars setting) { return what + " are disabled for safety reasons. If you know what you are doing, please make" + " sure that " + setting.varname + " is set to false and that " + ConfVars.HIVEMAPREDMODE.varname + " is not set to 'strict' to enable them."; } {code} it seems like if {{hive.mapred.mode}} is NOT set to 'strict', then these 3 new configurations are activated. However, in another piece of code: {code} private static boolean isAllowed(Configuration conf, ConfVars setting) { String mode = HiveConf.getVar(conf, ConfVars.HIVEMAPREDMODE, null); return (mode != null) ? !"strict".equals(mode) : !HiveConf.getBoolVar(conf, setting); } {code} it seems like as long as {{hive.mapred.mode}} is not null AND not 'strict', then the above 3 configurations are disabled, i.e., their values are ignored. Is this intentional? (BTW, how can I set the {{hive.mapred.mode}} to null? it seems Hive just load the default value which is 'nonstrict') > refactor Hive strict checks to be more granular, allow order by no limit and > no partition filter by default for now > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-12727 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-12727 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Sergey Shelukhin > Assignee: Sergey Shelukhin > Priority: Blocker > Labels: TODOC2.0 > Fix For: 2.0.0 > > Attachments: HIVE-12727.01.patch, HIVE-12727.02.patch, > HIVE-12727.03.patch, HIVE-12727.04.patch, HIVE-12727.05.patch, > HIVE-12727.06.patch, HIVE-12727.07.patch, HIVE-12727.patch > > > Making strict mode the default recently appears to have broken many normal > queries, such as some TPCDS benchmark queries, e.g. Q85: > Response message: org.apache.hive.service.cli.HiveSQLException: Error while > compiling statement: FAILED: SemanticException [Error 10041]: No partition > predicate found for Alias "web_sales" Table "web_returns" > We should remove this restriction from strict mode, or change the default > back to non-strict.
