Vincent Tran resolved IMPALA-4324.
----------------------------------
Resolution: Not A Bug
> We should automatically set default file format parameters when a table is
> created or altered
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: IMPALA-4324
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-4324
> Project: IMPALA
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Frontend
> Affects Versions: Impala 2.8.0
> Reporter: Taras Bobrovytsky
> Assignee: Vincent Tran
> Priority: Major
> Labels: newbie
>
> The following sequence of queries results in a table that cannot be read:
> {code}
> create external table jointbl_test like functional_parquet.jointbl;
> alter table jointbl_test set location '/test-warehouse/jointbl_seq';
> alter table jointbl_test set fileformat sequencefile;
> select * from jointbl_test;
> {code}
> Result:
> {code}
> +---------+-----------+----------+-------------+
> | test_id | test_name | test_zip | alltypes_id |
> +---------+-----------+----------+-------------+
> | NULL | NULL | NULL | NULL |
> | NULL | NULL | NULL | NULL |

> WARNINGS: Error converting column: 0 to BIGINT
> Error parsing row: file:
> hdfs://localhost:20500/test-warehouse/jointbl_seq/000000_0, before offset: 121
> Error converting column: 0 to BIGINT
> Error parsing row: file:
> hdfs://localhost:20500/test-warehouse/jointbl_seq/000000_0, before offset: 155
> {code}
> A similar problem happens with CREATE TABLE. The following query also results
> in a table that cannot be read:
> {code}
> CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE jointbl2 (
> test_id BIGINT,
> test_name STRING,
> test_zip INT,
> alltypes_id INT
> )
> STORED AS SEQUENCEFILE
> LOCATION 'hdfs://localhost:20500/test-warehouse/jointbl_seq'
> TBLPROPERTIES ('numFiles'='0', 'COLUMN_STATS_ACCURATE'='false',
> 'transient_lastDdlTime'='1476743954', 'numRows'='-1', 'totalSize'='0',
> 'rawDataSize'='-1')
> {code}
> The reason why this does not work currently is because ROW FORMAT and
> SERDEPROPERTIES are not set. A sane default should either be set
> automatically, or a warning should be given.
