Naveen Gangam created HIVE-15374: ------------------------------------ Summary: Hive column comments disappearing/being replaced by "from deserializer" Key: HIVE-15374 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-15374 Project: Hive Issue Type: Bug Components: Hive Affects Versions: 2.0.0 Reporter: Naveen Gangam Assignee: Naveen Gangam
After creating a table in hive with column comments, running show create table or describe [formatted], on the same table gives "from deserializer" instead of the original comments. CREATE TABLE `test`( `stringid` string COMMENT 'string id', `value` string COMMENT 'description') ROW FORMAT SERDE 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.contrib.serde2.RegexSerDe' WITH SERDEPROPERTIES ( 'input.regex'='(.{1})'); The comments appear to be stored correctly in the HMS backend DB. Just the fetching of this metadata seems to be incorrect. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
