Sujith Chacko commented on SPARK-27617: --------------------------------------- cc [~dongjoon] cc [~cloud_fan] I observed above behavior, Need inputs from experts, just to know whether its an intentional behavioral change compare to other systems like impala/hive, or its an improvement/bug which we can handle in running version. > Not able to specify LOCATION for internal table > ----------------------------------------------- > > Key: SPARK-27617 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-27617 > Project: Spark > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: SQL > Affects Versions: 2.2.0, 2.3.0, 2.4.0, 3.0.0 > Reporter: Sujith Chacko > Priority: Major > > In spark whenever user specifies location uri in create table without > external keyword the table is treated as external table . > Because of this behavior following following problems has been observed > a) user will not able to set an external location for a managed table. > b) compatibility issue with hive/impala where the system allow managed table > to specify location uri if user created table without 'EXTERNAL' keyword. > > scala> spark.sql("""CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS ext2 (name STRING) LOCATION > 'D:/spark-2.4.1-bin-hadoop2.7/bin/spark-warehouse/abc_orc13'"""); > -chgrp: 'HTIPL-23270\None' does not match expected pattern for group > Usage: hadoop fs [generic options] -chgrp [-R] GROUP PATH... > res15: org.apache.spark.sql.DataFrame = [] > scala> spark.sql("desc formatted ext2").show(false) > > +-----------------------------+---------------------------------------------------------------++------- > |col_name|data_type|comment| > +-----------------------------+---------------------------------------------------------------++------- > |name|string|null| > | | | | > | # Detailed Table Information| | | > |Database|default| | > |Table|ext2| | > |Owner|Administrator| | > |Created Time|Wed May 01 21:52:57 IST 2019| | > |Last Access|Thu Jan 01 05:30:00 IST 1970| | > |Created By|Spark 2.4.1| | > |Type|EXTERNAL| | > |Provider|hive| | > |Table Properties|[transient_lastDdlTime=1556727777]| | > |Location|file:/D:/spark-2.4.1-bin-hadoop2.7/bin/spark-warehouse/abc_orc13| | > |Serde Library|org.apache.hadoop.hive.serde2.lazy.LazySimpleSerDe| | > |InputFormat|org.apache.hadoop.mapred.TextInputFormat| | > |OutputFormat|org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.io.HiveIgnoreKeyTextOutputFormat| | > |Storage Properties|[serialization.format=1]| | > |Partition Provider|Catalog| | -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-unsubscr...@spark.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-h...@spark.apache.org
