Ashutosh Chauhan updated HIVE-1546:
-----------------------------------
Attachment: hive-1546.patch
Attached patch adds the capability to Hive so that custom semantic analysis of
query is possible before it is handed over to Hive. Plus there are few other
miscellaneous refactoring around it. Changes include:
* Addition of SemanticAnalyzerFactoryInterface. If conf has a particular
variable specified, a custom analyzer will be loaded and used, otherwise
existing Hive Semantic Analyzer will be used. So, default behavior is preserved.
* Changed visibility of few methods in DDLSemanticAnalyzer and SemanticAnalyzer
from private to protected as I wanted to override them in my custom analyzer.
* Changed file format specification in grammar, so that it can optionally take
two more parameters (InputDriver and OutputDriver) in addition to InputFormat
and OutputFormat. These are optional, so preserves the default behavior.
* In file format specification, currently SequenceFile, TextFile and RCFile are
supported through keyword. Expanded that production so to accept an identifier
so that its possible to provide support for more file formats without needing
to change Hive grammar every time. Currently, that token results in exception
since there are none, but when we add support for other file formats that could
be changed. This preserves current behavior.
Note that there are no new test cases since its mostly code restructuring and
doesnt add/modify current behavior, thus passing existing tests should suffice.
I should point out most of these changes are driven by Howl and would like to
thank John for suggesting the initial approach for these changes.
