--------------------------------------

             Summary: HivePassThroughOutputFormat cannot proxy more than one 
kind of OF (in one process)
                 Key: HIVE-8704
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-8704
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: StorageHandler
            Reporter: Sushanth Sowmyan
            Assignee: Sushanth Sowmyan


HivePassThroughOutputFormat is a wrapper HiveOutputFormat used by hive to allow 
access to StorageHandlers that use mapred OutputFormats as their primary 
implementation point, and do not implement HiveOutputFormat.

However, HivePassThroughOutputFormat(henceforth called PTOF) has one major bug 
- it tracks the underlying outputformat that it is proxying by means of a 
static string in HiveFileFormatUtils. There are a few problems with this.

a) For starters, it means that a given process can only process one PTOF-based 
output format. So, in the case of a HS2 instance, where one thread is 
attempting to start a job based on HBase and another on Accumulo will cause a 
problem, and will overwrite each others' "real" output format. This leads to 
bugs where a person trying to use a hbase table gets stack traces from Accumulo 
like the following:

ERROR exec.Task: Job Submission failed with exception 
'java.lang.NullPointerException(Expected Accumulo table name to be provided in 
job configuration)'

b) There is a bug in HiveFileFormatUtils.getOutputFormatSubstitute, which, 
after it determines that PTOF should act as a substitute for a process, winds 
up registering PTOF in the substitute map. This seems innocuous, but in result, 
because it winds up registering it as a substitute, winds up short-circuiting 
and avoiding the path where it sets the real OF the next time. This is a 
problem, because if the same job were to prepare writing to a HBase table, then 
followed by preparing to write to an Accumulo table, followed by preparing to 
write to a HBase table, then the second time HBase comes along, the underlying 
"real" OF is set to accumulo, and the HBase map look up short circuits and 
avoids the path that would reset the real OF back to HBase.

Both these scenarios are difficult to write unit tests for, since we'd require 
the ability to start a MiniAccumuloCluster and a MiniHBaseCluster in the same 
process, and am appropriate QTestUtil to use both of them, so I haven't written 
a test for them. However, the scenario is pretty easy to reproduce manually on 
a cluster where you have accumulo and hbase. As long as HBase was the only SH 
that went through PTOF, we didn't notice this, but it's easy to verify now.
