Summary: message for invalid compound name doesn't identify part that's bad Key: DRILL-3812 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-3812 Project: Apache Drill Issue Type: Bug Components: SQL Parser Reporter: Daniel Barclay (Drill) Assignee: Aman Sinha When a compound name (e.g., {{schema.subschema.table}}) is invalid, the error message doesn't where it went bad (e.g., which part referred to something unknown and/or non-existent). For example, see the query and the "VALIDATION ERROR ..." line in the following: {noformat} 0: jdbc:drill:zk=local> SELECT * FROM `dfs.NoSuchSchema`.`empty_directory`; Sep 20, 2015 10:38:24 PM org.apache.calcite.sql.validate.SqlValidatorException <init> SEVERE: org.apache.calcite.sql.validate.SqlValidatorException: Table 'dfs.NoSuchSchema.empty_directory' not found Sep 20, 2015 10:38:24 PM org.apache.calcite.runtime.CalciteException <init> SEVERE: org.apache.calcite.runtime.CalciteContextException: From line 1, column 15 to line 1, column 32: Table 'dfs.NoSuchSchema.empty_directory' not found Error: VALIDATION ERROR: From line 1, column 15 to line 1, column 32: Table 'dfs.NoSuchSchema.empty_directory' not found [Error Id: 2a298c8e-2923-4744-8f78-b0cf36c83799 on dev-linux2:31010] (state=,code=0) {noformat} A better error message would say that {{dfs.NoSuchSchema}} was not found (or that no {{NoSuchSchema}} was found in schema {{dfs}}). -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
