Details

    Description

      After HIVE-25303, every CTAS goes for  HiveMetaStore$HMSHandler#translate_table_dryrun() call to fetch table location for CTAS queries which fails with following exception for temp tables if MetastoreDefaultTransformer is set.

      2023-03-17 16:41:23,390 INFO  org.apache.hadoop.hive.metastore.MetastoreDefaultTransformer: [pool-6-thread-196]: Starting translation for CreateTable for processor HMSClient-@localhost with [EXTWRITE, EXTREAD, HIVEBUCKET2, HIVEFULLACIDREAD, HIVEFULLACIDWRITE, HIVECACHEINVALIDATE, HIVEMANAGESTATS, HIVEMANAGEDINSERTWRITE, HIVEMANAGEDINSERTREAD, HIVESQL, HIVEMQT, HIVEONLYMQTWRITE] on table test_temp

      I am able to repro this issue using attached testcase. mm_cttas.q

       

      There are multiple ways to fix this issue

      • Have temp txn table path under db's managed location path. This will help with encryption zone paths as well.
      • Skip location check for temp tables at MetastoreDefaultTransformer#validateTablePaths()
