Disabling of Specifying the location Keyword When Creating an Internal Hive Table¶
Scenario¶
This function is applicable to Hive and Spark2x.
After this function is enabled, the location keyword cannot be specified when a Hive internal table is created. Specifically, after a table is created, the table path following the location keyword is created in the default \warehouse directory and cannot be specified to another directory. If the location is specified when the internal table is created, the creation fails.
Note
After this function is enabled, the location keyword cannot be specified during the creation of a Hive internal table. The table creation statement is restricted. If a table that has been created in the database is not stored in the default directory /warehouse, the location keyword can still be specified when the database creation, table script migration, or metadata recreation operation is performed by disabling this function temporarily.
Procedure¶
Log in to FusionInsight Manager. For details, see Accessing FusionInsight Manager. Choose Cluster > Services > Hive > Configurations > All Configurations.
Choose HiveServer(Role) > Customization, add a customized parameter to the hive-site.xml parameter file, set Name to hive.internaltable.notallowlocation, and set Value to true. Restart all Hive instances after the modification.
Determine whether to enable this function on the Spark2x client.
If yes, download and install the Spark2x client again.
If no, no further action is required.
