[teiid-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (TEIID-3621) HBase translator - UPDATE statement requires primary key

HBase translator - UPDATE statement requires primary key -------------------------------------------------------- Key: TEIID-3621 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TEIID-3621 Project: Teiid Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 8.7.1.6_2 Environment: Hbase: 1.1.1 Phoenix: 4.5.0-HBase-1.1 Reporter: Juraj Duráni Assignee: Kylin Soong The HBase translator requires table to have a primary key defined. Is the PK really needed? If the table has no PK defined, then all columns are PK. E.g. query *UPDATE hbase.SmallA SET StringNum = '555' WHERE hbase.SmallA.StringNum IS NULL* is translated as *UPSERT INTO smalla (stringnum, intkey) SELECT '555', smalla.intkey FROM smalla WHERE smalla.stringnum IS NULL* (intkey is PK). Teiid can simply add all columns (except those defined in 'SET'). Yes, I know that HBase requires the PK to be defined, but what happen if a user decide to change PK in VDB [1]? It could be a problem whether PK is in VDB defined or not. I suggest to add a hbase-translator-specific execution property which define PK in the source table and remove AssertionError [2]. [1] *HBase table:* create table mytable(id integer primary key, nickname varchar(1)) *Teiid table:* create table mytable(id integer, username varchar(1) primary key) Both, id and username, are valid PK (artificial/natural).
