Aihua Xu created HIVE-12946: ------------------------------- Summary: alter table should also add default scheme and authority for the location similar to create table Key: HIVE-12946 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-12946 Project: Hive Issue Type: Improvement Components: Metastore Affects Versions: 2.1.0 Reporter: Aihua Xu Assignee: Aihua Xu
When you call create table command (create table ... location '/abc') and check the database, you will notice that the table location has the scheme. While alter table set location '/abc' would throw an error "{0} is not absolute or has no scheme information. Please specify a complete absolute uri with scheme information. /abc. Seems it should be consistent. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
