---------------------------------
Summary: Metatool updateLocation fails on views
Key: HIVE-11510
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-11510
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Database/Schema
Affects Versions: 0.14.0
Reporter: Eric Czech
If views are present in a hive database, issuing a 'hive metatool
-updateLocation' command will result in an error like this:
...
Warning: Found records with bad LOCATION in SDS table..
bad location URI: null
bad location URI: null
bad location URI: null
....
Based on the source code for Metatool, it looks like there would then be a "bad
location URI: null" message for every view and it also appears this is
happening simply because the 'sds' table in the hive schema has a column called
location that is NULL only for views.
