Mohammad Kamrul Islam resolved HIVE-5803.
-----------------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
> Support CTAS from a non-avro table to an avro table
> ---------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HIVE-5803
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-5803
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Task
> Reporter: Mohammad Kamrul Islam
> Assignee: Carl Steinbach
>
> Hive currently does not work with HQL like :
> CREATE TABLE <AVRO-BASE-TABLE> as SELECT * from <NON_AVRO_TABLE>;
> Actual it works successfully. But when I run "SELECT * from
> <AVRO-BASED-TABLE> .." it fails.
> This JIRA depends on HIVE-3159 that translates TypeInfo to Avro schema.
> Findings so far: CTAS uses internal column names (in place of using the
> column names provided in select) when crating the AVRO data file. In other
> words, avro data file has column names in this form of: _col0, _col1 where
> as table column names are different.
> I tested with the following test cases and it failed:
> - verify 1) can create table using create table as select from non-avro table
> 2) LOAD avro data into new table and read data from the new table
> CREATE TABLE simple_kv_txt (key STRING, value STRING) STORED AS TEXTFILE;
> DESCRIBE simple_kv_txt;
> LOAD DATA LOCAL INPATH '../data/files/kv1.txt' INTO TABLE simple_kv_txt;
> SELECT * FROM simple_kv_txt ORDER BY KEY;
> CREATE TABLE copy_doctors ROW FORMAT SERDE
> 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.serde2.avro.AvroSerDe' STORED AS INPUTFORMAT
> 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.io.avro.AvroContainerInputFormat' OUTPUTFORMAT
> 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.io.avro.AvroContainerOutputFormat' as SELECT key
> as key, value as value FROM simple_kv_txt;
> DESCRIBE copy_doctors;
> SELECT * FROM copy_doctors;
