Xuefu Zhang commented on HIVE-6936: ----------------------------------- {quote} I am in double mind about adding table prefix, although its useful from namespacing point of view, but than users also need to deal with this extra prefix while accessing properties in their IF. {quote} I sympathize with [~ashutoshc] as to the prefix approach. Even we do, the prefix currently chosen (table.) seems so commonly used that it may be in fight with user's existing properties, causing unexpected result. > Provide table properties to InputFormats > ---------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-6936 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-6936 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Components: File Formats > Reporter: Owen O'Malley > Assignee: Owen O'Malley > Fix For: 0.14.0 > > Attachments: HIVE-6936.patch, HIVE-6936.patch, HIVE-6936.patch > > > Some advanced file formats need the table properties made available to them. > Additionally, it would be convenient to provide a unique id for fetch > operators and the complete list of directories. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
