-------------------------------
Summary: Table Existence Checking when Index Table with the Same
Name Exists
Key: SPARK-17234
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-17234
Project: Spark
Issue Type: Bug
Components: SQL
Affects Versions: 2.1.0
Reporter: Xiao Li
Hive Index tables are not supported by Spark SQL. Thus, we issue an exception
when users try to access Hive Index tables. When the internal function
`tableExists` tries to access Hive Index tables, it always gets the same error
message: ```Hive index table is not supported```. This message could be
confusing to users, since their SQL operations could be completely unrelated to
Hive Index tables. For example, when users try to alter a table to a new name
and there exists an index table with the same name, the expected exception
should be a `TableAlreadyExistsException`.
