    Description

      Besides the security issue, there are a few more problems with using Hive tables to materialize common subexpressions:

      • Query caching has to be disabled, since we drop the table as a query ends, but a cached query would reference the same dropped table.
      • Executor frees resources of a prepared statement, which drops the table. Then the client executes this statement again.
      • Issue with query caching and running two queries with identical plans at the same time. They would conflict in the same table.

      Dave Birdsall suggested a solution in a comment in PR772: Create a Hive table at runtime for each statement and bind the name of it at runtime as well. This approach would fix all of the issues listed here.
