Zoltan Chovan created HIVE-15792: ------------------------------------ Summary: Hive should raise SemanticException when LPAD/RPAD pad character's length is 0 Key: HIVE-15792 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-15792 Project: Hive Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Zoltan Chovan Priority: Minor
For example SELECT LPAD('A', 2, ''); will cause an infinite loop and the running query will hang without any error. It would be great if this could be prevented by checking the pad character's length and if it's 0 then throw a SemanticException. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
