             Summary: UPDATE STATS may fail with error 8446 on Hive tables
                 Key: TRAFODION-2352
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TRAFODION-2352
             Project: Apache Trafodion
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: sql-cmp
    Affects Versions: 2.1-incubating
         Environment: All
            Reporter: David Wayne Birdsall
            Assignee: David Wayne Birdsall


UPDATE STATISTICS may fail on a Hive table with very long varchar columns. The 
symptom is an error 8446 "An error occurred during hdfs buffer fetch. Error 
Detail: No record delimiter found in buffer from hdfsRead." This happens when 
reading data from the table, and the query plan for the read happens to be a 
parallel plan.

The problem relates to CQD HIVE_MAX_STRING_LENGTH_IN_BYTES. This defaults to 
32000. When a Hive table has a column with a value having a length longer than 
this, we might get this error even though the user may have issued a CQD for 
this with a larger value.
