Istvan Toth commented on PHOENIX-6847:
--------------------------------------
I'm still not super convinced that this adds a lot of value, but the above
method signature doesn't expose internal classes, and is fine.
> Provide a crisp API to check if a view exists.

> Key: PHOENIX-6847
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PHOENIX-6847
> Project: Phoenix
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Rushabh Shah
> Priority: Major
>
> Currently customer using phoenix runs the following statements to check if a
> view exists or not.
> {noformat}
> public static boolean checkTableViewExists(Connection connection, String
> schema, String viewName)
> throws SQLException {
> DatabaseMetaData meta = connection.getMetaData();
> ResultSet resultSet = meta.getTables(null, schema, viewName, new String[]
> {"VIEW"});
> return resultSet.next();
> }
> {noformat}
> IMHO this is NOT very user friendly.
> We need to provide either of the 2 APIs
> {noformat}
> public PTable getView(String viewName, String tenantID); OR
> public boolean viewExists(String schemaName, String viewName, String
> tenantID);
> {noformat}
