​HBase row key cannot be NULL error in Hive-Hbase copy tables

Trying to copy a column data from one Hive-Hbase table to the second Hive-Hbase table.

Getting the HBase row key cannot be NULL error even though there is rowkey.

Way to reproduce this is :

HBase DDL:

CREATE TABLE 'TRIAL_SRC',{NAME => 'd'}

CREATE TABLE 'TRIAL_DEST',{NAME => 'd'}

Hive DDL:

Table 1 (Hive over Hbase):

create external table if not exists DCHANDRA.TRIAL_SRC (

key string

, pat_id string

) STORED BY 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.hbase.HBaseStorageHandler' WITH SERDEPROPERTIES ('hbase.columns.mapping' = ':key,

d:ref_val

') tblproperties ('hbase.table.name' ='TRIAL_SRC');

Table 2 (Hive over Hbase):

create external table if not exists DCHANDRA.TRIAL_DEST (

key string

, pat_id string

) STORED BY 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.hbase.HBaseStorageHandler' WITH SERDEPROPERTIES ('hbase.columns.mapping' = ':key,

d:ref_val

') tblproperties ('hbase.table.name' ='TRIAL_DEST');

DML for Table1:

insert into DCHANDRA.TRIAL_SRC (key,pat_id) values (1,101);

insert into DCHANDRA.TRIAL_SRC (key,pat_id) values (2,102);

insert into DCHANDRA.TRIAL_SRC (key,pat_id) values (3,103);

insert into DCHANDRA.TRIAL_SRC (key,pat_id) values (4,104);

insert into DCHANDRA.TRIAL_SRC (key,pat_id) values (5,105);

DML for Table2:

insert into DCHANDRA.TRIAL_DEST (key,pat_id) values (1,10);

Upsert into Table2(TRIAL_DEST) from Table1(TRIAL_SRC) :

insert into dchandra.trial_dest(pat_id) select src.pat_id from dchandra.trial_src src join dchandra.trial_dest dest on src.key=dest.key;

Getting the error

Your insert statement did not contain the key. Should be:

insert into dchandra.trial_dest(key, pat_id) select src.key, src.pat_id from dchandra.trial_src src join dchandra.trial_dest dest on src.key=dest.key;

,

When you ran:

insert into dchandra.trial_dest(pat_id) select src.pat_id from dchandra.trial_src src join dchandra.trial_dest dest on src.key=dest.key;

You did not include the key in your insert statement. Should it be:

insert into dchandra.trial_dest(key, pat_id) select src.key, src.pat_id from dchandra.trial_src src join dchandra.trial_dest dest on src.key=dest.key;
