I came across a bizarre Impala behaviour. I've create a table in HUE from a .csv file I've copied into the Hadoop cluster. I can correctly navigate the table in HUE via the Metastore Manager but I can't run the following query in Impala, as it throws an IllegalStateException: null
exception:
select *
from my_db.my_table
limit 100;
The strange thing is that the following command retrieve the correct number of rows:
select
count(*)
from my_db.my_table;
invalidate metadata
already, as without doing it I couldn't even query the table in Impala. I've tried torefresh
too but it didn't help. – Gianlucalimit 100
I get the sameIllegalStateException: null
error message. – Gianluca
