Edward Capriolo commented on HIVE-4858: --------------------------------------- Well the root of the problem is that our test infrastructure uses "diff" so we are always monkeying around deterministic output :) . The diff approach has it's merits but it is far from sexy. > Sort "show grant" result to improve usability and testability > ------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-4858 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-4858 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: CLI > Affects Versions: 0.10.0, 0.11.0 > Reporter: Xuefu Zhang > Assignee: Xuefu Zhang > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 0.11.1 > > Attachments: HIVE-4858.1.patch, HIVE-4858.patch > > > Currently Hive outputs the result of "show grant" command in no deterministic > order. It outputs the set of each privilege type in the order of whatever > returned from DB (DataNucleus). Randomness can arise and tests (depending on > the order) can fail, especially in events of library upgrade (DN or JVM > upgrade). Sorting the result will avoid the potential randomness and make the > output more deterministic, thus not only improving the readability of the > output but also making the test more robust. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
