Kriti Jha created HIVE-24223: -------------------------------- Summary: Insert into Hive tables doesn't work for decimal numbers with no preceding digit before the decimal Key: HIVE-24223 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-24223 Project: Hive Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: All Versions Reporter: Kriti Jha
Any insert operation to a table in Hive with decimal integers without a digit before the DOT ('.') fails with an exception as shown below: ------------------------------------------------------------------ hive> create table test_dec(id decimal(10,8)); hive> insert into test_dec values (-.5); NoViableAltException(16@[412:1: atomExpression : ( constant | ( intervalExpression )=> intervalExpression | castExpression | extractExpression | floorExpression | caseExpression | whenExpression | ( subQueryExpression )=> ( subQueryExpression ) -> ^( TOK_SUBQUERY_EXPR TOK_SUBQUERY_OP subQueryExpression ) | ( functionName LPAREN )=> function | tableOrColumn | expressionsInParenthesis[true] );])NoViableAltException(16@[412:1: atomExpression : ( constant | ( intervalExpression )=> intervalExpression | castExpression | extractExpression | floorExpression | caseExpression | whenExpression | ( subQueryExpression )=> ( subQueryExpression ) -> ^( TOK_SUBQUERY_EXPR TOK_SUBQUERY_OP subQueryExpression ) | ( functionName LPAREN )=> function | tableOrColumn | expressionsInParenthesis[true] );]) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.parse.HiveParser_IdentifiersParser$DFA36.specialStateTransition(HiveParser_IdentifiersParser.java:31810) at org.antlr.runtime.DFA.predict(DFA.java:80) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.parse.HiveParser_IdentifiersParser.atomExpression(HiveParser_IdentifiersParser.java:6746) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.parse.HiveParser_IdentifiersParser.precedenceFieldExpression(HiveParser_IdentifiersParser.java:6988) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.parse.HiveParser_IdentifiersParser.precedenceUnaryPrefixExpression(HiveParser_IdentifiersParser.java:7324) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.parse.HiveParser_IdentifiersParser.precedenceUnarySuffixExpression(HiveParser_IdentifiersParser.java:7380) at ... org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.parse.HiveParser_IdentifiersParser.expression(HiveParser_IdentifiersParser.java:6686) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.parse.HiveParser_IdentifiersParser.expressionsNotInParenthesis(HiveParser_IdentifiersParser.java:2287) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.parse.HiveParser_IdentifiersParser.expressionsInParenthesis(HiveParser_IdentifiersParser.java:2233) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.parse.HiveParser.expressionsInParenthesis(HiveParser.java:42106) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.parse.HiveParser_FromClauseParser.valueRowConstructor(HiveParser_FromClauseParser.java:6499) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.parse.HiveParser_FromClauseParser.valuesTableConstructor(HiveParser_FromClauseParser.java:6583) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.parse.HiveParser_FromClauseParser.valuesClause(HiveParser_FromClauseParser.java:6704) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.parse.HiveParser.valuesClause(HiveParser.java:41954) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.parse.HiveParser.regularBody(HiveParser.java:36536) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.parse.HiveParser.queryStatementExpressionBody(HiveParser.java:35822) at ... org.apache.hadoop.util.RunJar.main(RunJar.java:153)FAILED: ParseException line 1:30 cannot recognize input near '.'
