Alan Gates created HIVE-15412: --------------------------------- Summary: Partition columns should be allowed in primary keys Key: HIVE-15412 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-15412 Project: Hive Issue Type: Bug Components: Metastore Affects Versions: 2.1.1 Reporter: Alan Gates
If a primary key includes a partition column the attempt to create the primary key returns an error saying that the partition column cannot be found. It appears that the logic in the ObjectStore is checking against the list of valid columns in the storage descriptor, which doesn't include the partition columns. Yet it is perfectly reasonable for a user to want to include a partition column in a primary key. And we want to encourage this behavior because it will make query optimization easier. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
