Boris Tyukin commented on IMPALA-5654:
--------------------------------------
what is the proper way to swap tables? Looks to me the only option left is
using a combination of Impala DDL and Kudu API?
> Disallow managed Kudu table to explicitly set Kudu tbl name in CREATE TABLE

> Key: IMPALA-5654
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-5654
> Project: IMPALA
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Frontend
> Affects Versions: Impala 2.8.0
> Reporter: Matthew Jacobs
> Assignee: Gabor Kaszab
> Priority: Major
> Labels: kudu
> Fix For: Impala 2.12.0
>
>
> There's no reason to allow this behavior. Managed tables create Kudu tables
> with the name (in Kudu) "impala::db_name.table_name". Renaming (in Impala) a
> managed Kudu table results in renaming the underlying Kudu table, e.g. rename
> table_name to new_table name results in changing the Kudu table to
> "impala::db_name.new_table_name". But allowing a new table to specify the
> kudu table name is inconsistent with the renaming behavior and just
> introduces opportunities for confusion.
> {code}
> private void analyzeManagedKuduTableParams(Analyzer analyzer) throws
> AnalysisException {
> // If no Kudu table name is specified in tblproperties, generate one
> using the
> // current database as a prefix to avoid conflicts in Kudu.
> // TODO: Disallow setting this manually for managed tables
> if (!getTblProperties().containsKey(KuduTable.KEY_TABLE_NAME)) {
> getTblProperties().put(KuduTable.KEY_TABLE_NAME,
> KuduUtil.getDefaultCreateKuduTableName(getDb(), getTbl()));
> }
> {code}
