--------------------------------------
[~rusanu] Could you please post the full stack trace if you still have it? I do
not know of these nuanes across these different DBs, so apologize if some of
these questions seem obvious.
In the upgrade script, when we cast the existing String values as text,
shouldnt the existing columns values also be treated the same as any new
inserts? If not, is there an alternate way of making existing column values be
the same format as new values during the upgrade?
{{alter table "COLUMNS_V2" alter column "TYPE_NAME" type text using
cast("TYPE_NAME" as text);}}
If the JDO mapping file defines a column as CLOB, wouldnt the column type be of
Clob irrespective of the underlying DB? Thanks

> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Remus Rusanu
> Assignee: Naveen Gangam
>
> The CLOB JDO type introduced with HIVE-12274 does not work correctly with
> PostgreSQL. The value is written out-of-band and the LOB handle is written,as
> an INT, into the table. SELECTs return the INT value, which should had been
> read via the {{lo_get}} PG built-in, and then cast into string.
> Furthermore, the behavior is different between fields upgraded from earlier
> metastore versions (they retain their string storage) vs. values inserted
> after the upgrade (inserted as LOB roots).
> Teh code in
> {{MetasoreDirectSql.getPartitionsFromPartitionIds/extractSqlClob}} expects
> the underlying JDO/Datanucleus to map the column to a {{Clob}} but that does
> not happen, the value is a Java String containing the int which is the LOB
> root saved by PG.
> This manifests at runtime with errors like:
> {code}
> hive> select * from srcpart;
> Failed with exception java.io.IOException:java.lang.IllegalArgumentException:
> Error: type expected at the position 0 of '24030:24031' but '24030' is found.
> {code}
> the 24030:24031 should be 'string:string'.
> repro:
> {code}
> CREATE TABLE srcpart (key STRING COMMENT 'default', value STRING COMMENT
> 'default') PARTITIONED BY (ds STRING, hr STRING) STORED AS TEXTFILE;
> LOAD DATA LOCAL INPATH "${hiveconf:test.data.dir}/kv1.txt" OVERWRITE INTO
> TABLE srcpart PARTITION (ds="2008-04-09", hr="11");
> select * from srcpart;
> {code}
> I did not see the issue being hit by non-partitioned/textfile tables, but
> that is just the luck of the path taken by the code. Inspection of my PG
> metastore shows all the CLOB fields suffering from this issue.
