Raghotham Murthy commented on HIVE-518: --------------------------------------- one solution would be to provide another set option with the list of tables which should not be sampled in test mode. set hive.test.mode.unsampled.tables=table1,table2 Another option might be to actually allow users to specify the entire tablesample clause for every table that needs to sampled in test-mode. But that seems like a lot more work for not a lot of additional benefit. > test mode in hive > ----------------- > > Key: HIVE-518 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-518 > Project: Hadoop Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Query Processor > Affects Versions: 0.3.1 > Reporter: Namit Jain > Assignee: Namit Jain > Fix For: 0.4.0 > > Attachments: hive.518.1.patch, hive.518.2.patch > > > It would be good to have a test mode in hive - this will help in checking the > validity of a hive drop on a production cluster. > The following would be good to have: > Testmode --> In testmode, all input tables are sampled (if not already > sampled) and all output tables are prefixed by a user supplied name. > This way, multiple hive drops can be compared quickly for correctness -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
