Thejas M Nair commented on HIVE-4573:
-------------------------------------
bq. Although it seems that eventually (.13?) you would want the default to be
CLASSIC
If we don't set the default to CLASSIC sooner, it would never happen. As time
goes by, more applications would start relying this behavior.
As [~the6campbells] points out, the CLASSIC behavior is documented to be the
'normal' behavior. While we should aim for backward compatibility, I am not
sure if that applies to bugs as well.
The managed vs external table information can certainly be very useful. It
would be good to get that without changing the server configuration. Should we
rely on something like 'describe table extended' for that ?
While I don't agree on the default, I don't think perfect should get in way of
good. This improves things by making the classic behavior possible. We can
discuss the default in a separate jira.
+1 for the patch.
> Support alternate table types for HiveServer2

> Key: HIVE-4573
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-4573
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: HiveServer2, JDBC
> Affects Versions: 0.10.0
> Reporter: Johndee Burks
> Assignee: Prasad Mujumdar
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: HIVE-4573.1.patch, HIVE-4573.2.patch

> The getTables jdbc function no longer returns information when using normal
> JDBC table types like TABLE or VIEW. You must now use a more specific type
> such as MANAGED_TABLE or VIRTUAL_VIEW. An example application that will fail
> to return results against 0.10 is below, works without issue in 0.9. In my
> 0.10 test I used HS2.
