                 Key: HIVE-2863
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2863
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Mauro Cazzari


Given the following table:

CREATE TABLE `Y` (`y` DOUBLE) ROW FORMAT DELIMITED FIELDS TERMINATED BY '\001' 
STORED AS TEXTFILE;

The following query fails:

SELECT  `Y`.`y`  FROM `Y`  WHERE  ( `y` = 1 )
ERROR: java.sql.SQLException: Query returned non-zero code: 10, cause: FAILED: 
Error in
       semantic analysis: Line 1:36 Ambiguous table alias or column reference 
'`y`'
ERROR: Unable to execute Hadoop query.
ERROR: Prepare error. SQL statement: SELECT  `Y`.`y`  FROM `Y`  WHERE  ( `y` = 
1 ).

The problem goes away if the table and column names do not match.
