Namit Jain commented on HIVE-972:
---------------------------------
I think we can go with Lenient Dependency Invalidation - which means that the
view gets invalid if any DDL happens on the underlying table.
Column level dependencies can be ignored as of now. The view depends on
persistent objects (other tables and views).
We should support:
alter view <viewname> compile;
The views can be automatically compiled when referenced in a query, but may
lead to unexpected results for select '*'. So, in the first cut,
we can ask the user to explicitly validate the view.
Other issue is regarding the error messages. If the query is equivalent to:
select ... from (view-def-select);
will the error positions be correct ?
