substr on string containing UTF-8 characters produces StringIndexOutOfBoundsException -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HIVE-2942 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2942 Project: Hive Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Kevin Wilfong Assignee: Kevin Wilfong After HIVE-2792, the substr function produces a StringIndexOutOfBoundsException when called on a string containing UTF-8 characters without the length argument being present. E.g. select substr(str, 1) from table1; now fails with that exception if str contains a UTF-8 character for any row in the table. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
