John Sichi commented on HIVE-972: --------------------------------- I set up a MySQL metastore configuration, then created a table and view successfully. Browsing the resulting MySQL database, it looks like JDO chose MEDIUMTEXT for the type of the lob attributes. MEDIUMTEXT allows up to 2^24 bytes (16MB), which should be good enough for even very large views. Also, all tests are passing when I apply the .3 patch to svn head, so it's ready for commit. > 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-972.3.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.
