Peter Vary commented on HIVE-16982: ----------------------------------- Hi [~klcopp], Thanks for the patch. Just a quick question: Are we sure, that if the {{explainPlan}} is null, then it is because the {{hive.log.explain.output}} is false, or there can be another reason too? Thanks, Peter > WebUI "Show Query" tab prints "UNKNOWN" instead of explaining configuration > option > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-16982 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-16982 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Configuration, Web UI > Reporter: Karen Coppage > Assignee: Karen Coppage > Priority: Minor > Labels: newbie, patch > Attachments: HIVE-16982.patch > > > In the Hive WebUI / Drilldown: the Show Query tab always displays "UNKNOWN." > If the user wants to see the query plan here, they should set configuration > hive.log.explain.output to true.
