--------------------------------
Summary: Hive metatool should take table_param_key to allow for
changes to avro serde's schema url key
Key: HIVE-10324
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-10324
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Metastore
Affects Versions: 1.1.0
Reporter: Szehon Ho
HIVE-3443 added support to change the serdeParams from 'metatool
updateLocation' command.
However, in avro it is possible to specify the schema via the tableParams:
{noformat}
CREATE TABLE `testavro`(
`test` string COMMENT 'from deserializer')
ROW FORMAT SERDE
'org.apache.hadoop.hive.serde2.avro.AvroSerDe'
STORED AS INPUTFORMAT
'org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.io.avro.AvroContainerInputFormat'
OUTPUTFORMAT
'org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.io.avro.AvroContainerOutputFormat'
TBLPROPERTIES (
'avro.schema.url'='hdfs://namenode:8020/tmp/test.avsc',
'kite.compression.type'='snappy',
'transient_lastDdlTime'='1427996456')
{noformat}
Hence for those tables the 'metatool updateLocation' will not help.
This is necessary in case like upgrade the namenode to HA where the absolute
paths have changed.
