Alan Gates commented on HIVE-19688: ----------------------------------- As part of adding this I discovered a critical bug in the --createCatalog option for schematool. When it adds a catalog it does a select max(CTLD_ID) from CTLGS and then adds 1. But if the database uses its own sequence to update this field, this operation interferes with that. The next time a createCatalog is done via HiveMetaStoreClient it will fail because the value from the sequence will already be used in the CTLGS table. To fix it I added 2^29 to the value the first time a catalog is added from schematool so that there is not a clash between the catalogs added by HiveMetaStoreClient and those added by schematool. > Make catalogs updatable > ----------------------- > > Key: HIVE-19688 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-19688 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: Metastore > Affects Versions: 3.0.0 > Reporter: Alan Gates > Assignee: Alan Gates > Priority: Major > Attachments: HIVE-19688.patch > > > The initial changes for catalogs did not include an ability to alter > catalogs.
