Terry Kim commented on SPARK-29900:
-----------------------------------
[~dongjoon] 'global temp view' can be referred only by the qualified name,
'global_temp.view1', for example. Setting the current database to 'global_temp'
is not allowed either. So I don't think 'global temp view' will affect this
work. Please let me know if missed something. Thanks!
> make relation lookup behavior consistent within Spark SQL
> ---------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SPARK-29900
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-29900
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: SQL
> Affects Versions: 3.0.0
> Reporter: Wenchen Fan
> Priority: Major
>
> Currently, Spark has 2 different relation resolution behaviors:
> 1. try to look up temp view first, then try table/persistent view.
> 2. try to look up table/persistent view.
> The first behavior is used in SELECT, INSERT and a few commands that support
> views, like DESC TABLE.
> The second behavior is used in most commands.
> It's confusing to have inconsistent relation resolution behaviors, and the
> benefit is super small. It's only useful when there are temp view and table
> with the same name, but users can easily use qualified table name to
> disambiguate.
> In postgres, the relation resolution behavior is consistent
> {code}
> cloud0fan=# create schema s1;
> CREATE SCHEMA
> cloud0fan=# SET search_path TO s1;
> SET
> cloud0fan=# create table s1.t (i int);
> CREATE TABLE
> cloud0fan=# insert into s1.t values (1);
> INSERT 0 1
> # access table with qualified name
> cloud0fan=# select * from s1.t;
> i
> ---
> 1
> (1 row)
> # access table with single name
> cloud0fan=# select * from t;
> i
> ---
> 1
> (1 rows)
> # create a temp view with conflicting name
> cloud0fan=# create temp view t as select 2 as i;
> CREATE VIEW
> # same as spark, temp view has higher proirity during resolution
> cloud0fan=# select * from t;
> i
> ---
> 2
> (1 row)
> # DROP TABLE also resolves temp view first
> cloud0fan=# drop table t;
> ERROR: "t" is not a table
> # DELETE also resolves temp view first
> cloud0fan=# delete from t where i = 0;
> ERROR: cannot delete from view "t"
> {code}
