Can't create a delta lake table in hive - hive

Question

I'm trying to create a delta lake table in hive 3.
I moved the delta-hive-assembly_2.11-0.3.0.jar to the hive aux directory and set into the hive cli
SET hive.input.format=io.delta.hive.HiveInputFormat;
SET hive.tez.input.format=io.delta.hive.HiveInputFormat;
but when I try to create the table it throws the following error:
[2b8497c1-b4d3-492e-80a5-ec4db4119018 HiveServer2-Handler-Pool: Thread-133]: Exception occured while getting the URI from storage handler: Expected authority at index 22: deltastoragehandler://: Unsupported ex
java.net.URISyntaxException: Expected authority at index 22: deltastoragehandler://: Unsupported ex

The create statement:
CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE default.test_delta
( id INT, activ INT)
STORED BY 'io.delta.hive.DeltaStorageHandler'
LOCATION '/dev/delta/tessttt';
It's anyone that know why this error occurs ?

Answer 1

You need to add in the properties of the table the following: TBLPROPERTIES('DO_NOT_UPDATE_STATS'='true');
Example
CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE default.test_delta
( id INT, activ INT)
STORED BY 'io.delta.hive.DeltaStorageHandler'
LOCATION '/dev/delta/tessttt'
TBLPROPERTIES('DO_NOT_UPDATE_STATS'='true';
The solution also works for iceberg format.
