Thomas D'Silva commented on PHOENIX-2088: ----------------------------------------- [~maghamraviki...@gmail.com] If we have an index on an expression the index column name can contain characters like '|' or ','. This causes issues with the way we serialize columns PhoenixConfigurationUtil.setUpsertColumnNames() and ColumnInfoToStringEncoderDecoder . One way to fix this is to use a delimiter that won't be used in an expression, but this seems like it might break if we ever add a function/operator that uses the delimiter. Do you know if there is a better way to fix this? > Prevent splitting and recombining select expressions for MR integration > ----------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: PHOENIX-2088 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PHOENIX-2088 > Project: Phoenix > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: James Taylor > Assignee: Thomas D'Silva > > We currently send in the select expressions for the MR integration with a > delimiter separated string, split based on the delimiter, and then recombine > again using a comma separator. This is problematic because the delimiter > character may appear in a select expression, thus breaking this logic. > Instead, we should use a comma as the delimiter and avoid splitting and > recombining as it's not necessary in that case. Instead, the entire string > can be used as-is in that case to form the select expressions. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
