今天，我在hive（mapr-distribution-hive 0.13.0-mapr-1508-21228）上发现了一个奇怪的行为
表定义：

CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE gd_temp_test.rate_merchants_test(
ROW_KEY string,
TRANS_DESC1 string,
TRANS_DESC2 string,
TRANS_DESC3 string,
TRANS_ID string
) 
ROW FORMAT DELIMITED FIELDS TERMINATED BY '\u0001' LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'
STORED AS textfile
LOCATION '/home/gd/tempdata';

当执行下面的查询时，它确实接受了相同的查询并抛出了runtimeexception。

select * from gd_temp_test.rate_merchants_test t1 where t1.TRANS_DESC1 limit 1;

请注意，查询中的表是一个外部表 TRANS_DESC1 属于 String 类型。
例外

我原以为它在解析或评估执行计划时会被拒绝。当我解释问题的时候，

explain select * from gd_temp_test.rate_merchants_test t1 where t1.TRANS_DESC1 limit 1;

它能够解释这个问题。

有没有解释是什么原因导致这一切要等到运行时？这是正常的行为吗。
编辑1：添加了示例表定义。
