Carl Steinbach commented on HIVE-3114: -------------------------------------- bq. Agreed it was a mistake for unclean thrift API. But, we cannot penalize a single feature, which we need urgently, for that. I am all for the thrift cleanup - it is just that the timing is not right from our side. I'm not asking you to clean up the entire metastore Thrift API. All I'm asking is for you to add a createTableLink() method instead of overloading the createTable() method. It's fine if both createTable() and createTableLink() use a common codepath behind the Thrift API, but the Thrift API needs to call these things out as distinct operations. bq. @Bhushan, in the links wiki - can you add a follow-up for the thrift interface ? When are these followups going to be addressed? If they aren't committed in time for the 0.10.0 release are you OK with us backing out these changes? > Split Thrift interface for Table Link Creation > ---------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-3114 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-3114 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: New Feature > Affects Versions: 0.10.0 > Reporter: Bhushan Mandhani > Assignee: Bhushan Mandhani > Priority: Minor > > Table Link creation through Thrift currently goes through the same method as > Table creation. We want to move it out of there and into it's own method. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
