Johndee Burks created HIVE-11219: ------------------------------------ Summary: Transactional documentation is unclear Key: HIVE-11219 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-11219 Project: Hive Issue Type: Improvement Components: Transactions Reporter: Johndee Burks Priority: Minor
At the [this|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/Hive+Transactions] link the following is said. "If a table is to be used in ACID writes (insert, update, delete) then the table property "transactional" must be set on that table, starting with Hive 0.14.0. Without this value, inserts will be done in the old style; updates and deletes will be prohibited. However, this does not apply to Hive 0.13.0." It does not tell you what the value of transactional should be. I think we should say it needs to be true and we should show an example DDL. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
