WIP
Added a syntax for
SHOW TABLES EXTENDED
which can output a additional column compared toSHOW TABLES
which prints the table type with possible valuesMANAGED,EXTERNAL,VIEW
Also to reduce complexity, this PR breaks
org.apache.spark.sql.execution.command.ShowTablesCommand
which was responsible forSHOW TABLES
andSHOW TABLE
command into separate classesWhy are the changes needed?
Intention is to support show tables with a additional column 'type' where type can be
MANAGED,EXTERNAL,VIEW
using which user can query only tables of required types, like listing only views or only external tables (using awhere
clause overtype
column).Usecase example:
Currently its not possible to list all the VIEWS, but other technologies like hive support it using
SHOW VIEWS
, mysql supports it using a more complex querySHOW FULL TABLES WHERE table_type = 'VIEW;
Decide to take mysql approach as it provides more flexibility for querying.
Does this PR introduce any user-facing change?
Yes. New option
EXTENDED
forSHOW TABLES
commandHow was this patch tested?
TODO:
where
clause support
