EXPLAIN for a CTAS query fails if the table already exists in the system
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HIVE-1680
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1680
Project: Hadoop Hive
Issue Type: Bug
Components: CLI
Reporter: Shrikrishna Lawande
Priority: Minor
EXPLAIN for a CTAS query (create table as select) would throw an error "FAILED:
Error in semantic analysis: org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.parse.SemanticException:
Table already exists: temp" if the table already exists in the system
The semantic analyzer should not validate the tables name in the create table
statement for 'EXPLAIN' queries.
To repro :
create table test (col1 int, col2 int);
create table test1 as select * from test;
explain create table test1 as select * from test;;
FAILED: Error in semantic analysis:
org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.parse.SemanticException: Table already exists: test1
