Stop testing concat of partitions containing control characters.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HIVE-2960
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2960
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Test
Reporter: Kevin Wilfong
Assignee: Kevin Wilfong
We have been, for a short while, testing to make sure that concatenation
commands work with partitions that contain ASCII control characters. This
happened to work up until recently due to a happy coincidence in the way the
Hive object's HiveConf was updated. Namely, it was updated often enough that
it got configs set by the user, but not so often that it got the value for
hive.query.string. With some recent changes, it now needs to be updated more
often, see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2918
This breaks the process of launching a job to merge partitions that contain
ASCII control characters. The job conf is constructed using the updated Hive
conf containing the value of hive.query.string which contains ASCII control
characters. When the job conf is converted to XML it fails because these
characters are illegal. Given that any query has, even prior to this change,
failed when that query contained ASCII control characters, and hence these
partitions cannot be queried directly, it seems reasonable to no longer support
concatenating them either (which this change will allow for).
