Unable to alter table. The following columns have types incompatible with the existing columns in their respective positions : > c1 > {code} > There appear to be 2 issues here: > 1) When hive.metastore.disallow.incompatible.col.type.changes is true (the default) we only allow StringFamily (STRING, CHAR, VARCHAR) conversion to a number that can hold the largest numbers. The theory being we don't want data loss you would get by converting the StringFamily field into integers, etc. In Hive version 2 the hierarchy of numbers had DECIMAL at the top. At some point during Hive version 2 we realized this was incorrect and put DOUBLE the top. > However, the Hive2 Hive version 2 TypeInfoUtils.implicitConversion method allows StringFamily to either DOUBLE or DECIMAL conversion. > The new org.apache.hadoop.hive.metastore.ColumnType class under Hive version 3 hive-standalone-metadata-server method checkColTypeChangeCompatible only allows DOUBLE. > This JIRA fixes that problem. > 2) Also, the checkColTypeChangeCompatible method lost a version 2 series bug fix that drops CHAR/VARCHAR (and DECIMAL I think) type decorations when checking for Schema Evolution compatibility. So, when that code is checking if a data type "varchar(25)" is StringFamily it fails because the "(25)" didn't get removed properly. > This JIRA fixes issue #2 also. > NOTE: Hive1 version 2 did undecoratedTypeName(oldType) and Hive2 version performed the logic in TypeInfoUtils.implicitConvertible on the PrimitiveCategory not the raw type string. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
