------------------------------------------
Summary: Thrift generated cpp files for metastore do not compile
Key: HIVE-21586
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-21586
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 3.1.0
Reporter: Vihang Karajgaonkar
Assignee: Vihang Karajgaonkar
The way some structs like CreationMetadata, CompactionInfo, ColumnStatistics
are defined in hive_metastore.thrift is that these structs are used before they
are defined. While this works for the java code which is generated, it does not
work for the generated cpp code since Thrift does not use pointer/references to
the forward declared classes.
The easy fix for this would be to reorder the struct definitions in the
hive_metastore.thrift so that they are always defined before they are used.
