thanks Ed. Something just isn't quite right.
in .$HOME/downloads/hive-0.9.0/src/metastore/if/hive_metastore.thrift
there is a 'struct Schema' entry but all attempts to generate the perl
code for that seem to come up empty.
looking at -gen py and the associated code i see this code frag in
ThriftHive.py
if ftype == TType.STRUCT:
self.success = hive_metastore.ttypes.Schema()
self.success.read(iprot)
else:
for perl i only have this:
if ($ftype == TType::STRUCT) {
$self->{success} = new Schema();
$xfer += $self->{success}->read($input);
and hence "new Schema" throws the exception of not found.
comparing to the generated python code -- it has a whole big ttype.py under
hive_metastore while the generated perl code has zilch. the perl stuff only
has ThriftHiveMetastore.pm but no subclasses. :(
thoughts, ideas, ruminations?
Thanks again Ed.
Cheers,
Stephen
