Gary Colman created HIVE-3818: --------------------------------- Summary: Identify VOID datatype in generated table and notify the user accordingly Key: HIVE-3818 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-3818 Project: Hive Issue Type: Improvement Components: Serializers/Deserializers Reporter: Gary Colman Priority: Trivial
When using rcfile as a datastore, generating a table from a select statement with a null field results in a void data type, and throws an exception (Internal error: no LazyObject for VOID). eg. set hive.default.fileformat=RCFILE; CREATE TABLE test_table AS SELECT NULL, key FROM src; Make the message to the user a little more intuitive. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
