Andrew Olson updated HIVE-18087:
--------------------------------
Description:
First, some background info: A non-native table can be created with partition
columns defined. However, the existence of partition columns for a non-native
table is problematic. Nothing disallows the table creation, and the
documentation [1] does not mention that non-native tables cannot have partition
columns. In fact, it suggests that "PARTITIONED BY" can be specified.
With this table definition, when running a query that does not launch a MR job,
the query completes successfully and immediately, but no rows are ever
returned. I have not yet been able to identify the specific code logic path
that prevents it from working as expected, perhaps something in the query plan
related to partition pruning.
This bug is similar to HIVE-18086. We see this issue with a query like "select
\* from my_table;" and the HIVE-18086 {{NullPointerException}} with a query
like "select count(\*) from my_table;".
We encountered this bug using the {{HBaseStorageHandler}}. However, enabling
debug logging suggests that the query is being short-circuited without actually
connecting to HBase at all.
