Prasad Chakka commented on HIVE-972: ------------------------------------ 12. Block alter_table, alter_partition queries in metastore server side code rather than the ql or client side code. Zheng, AFAIK backward compatibility (i.e. older code acting against latest schema) should not be a problem. schema upgrade should happen automatically if users haven't changed or modified datanuclues/jpox parameters in hive-default.xml. > support views > ------------- > > Key: HIVE-972 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-972 > Project: Hadoop Hive > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Metastore, Query Processor > Reporter: Namit Jain > Assignee: John Sichi > Attachments: HIVE-972.1.patch, HIVE-972.2.patch > > > Hive currently does not support views. > It would be a very nice feature to have. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
