Oliver Meyn created HIVE-2987: --------------------------------- Summary: SELECTing nulls returns nothing Key: HIVE-2987 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2987 Project: Hive Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 0.9.0 Environment: Tested using 0.9.0rc1, hbase 0.92.1, hadoop 0.20.2-cdh3u2 Reporter: Oliver Meyn Priority: Critical
Given an hbase table defined as 'test' with a single column family 'a', rowkey of type string, and two "rows" as follows: key:1,a:lat=60.0,a:long=50.0,a:precision=10 key:2,a:lat=54 And an hive table created overtop of it as follows: CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE hbase_test ( id STRING, latitude STRING, longitude STRING, precision STRING ) STORED BY 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.hbase.HBaseStorageHandler' WITH SERDEPROPERTIES ("hbase.columns.mapping" = ":key#s,a:lat#s,a:long#s,a:precision#s") TBLPROPERTIES( "hbase.table.name" = "test", "hbase.table.default.storage.type" = "binary" ); The query SELECT id, precision FROM hbase_test WHERE id = '2' returns no result. Expected behaviour is to return: '2',NULL If the query is changed to include a non-null result, eg SELECT id, latitude, precision FROM hbase_test WHERE id = '2' the result is as expected: '2','54',NULL -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
