Lefty Leverenz commented on HIVE-6406:
--------------------------------------
This needs documentation -- how about a release note for starters? (Of course
HIVE-6465 will also need documentation after it's committed.) Table properties
are inadequately documented in the wiki -- see my Feb. 14th message to dev@hive:
* [User doc for table properties

> Introduce immutable-table table property and if set, disallow insert-into
> -------------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: HIVE-6406
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-6406
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: HCatalog, Metastore, Query Processor, Thrift API
> Reporter: Sushanth Sowmyan
> Assignee: Sushanth Sowmyan
> Fix For: 0.13.0

> As part of HIVE-6405's attempt to make HCatalog and Hive behave in similar
> ways with regards to immutable tables, this is a companion task to introduce
> the notion of an immutable table, wherein all tables are not immutable by
> default, and have this be a table property. If this property is set for a
> table, and we attempt to write to a table that already has data (or a
> partition), disallow "INSERT INTO" into it from hive(if destination directory
> is non-empty). This property being set will allow hive to mimic HCatalog's
> current immutable-table property.
