Shengsheng Huang updated HIVE-3577: ----------------------------------- Description: Hive requires subquery to be used only in the FROM clause. But real-world queries can be much more complex and subqueries could appear in WHERE, having and SELECT clauses. Many of such subqueries can be transformed/unnested to various join operations. This is an umbrella id to include all subquery unnesting work, specifically: 1. subquery in WHERE conditions, including subquery used as operand of IN, EXISTS, ISNULL ALL/ANY/SOME, and etc. 2. correlated subquery (a correlated subquery is a subquery that refers to a column of a table not in its FROM clause),e.g. {code} select * from t1 where exists ( select * from t2 where t1.b = t2.y ); {code} 3. scalar subquery (a subquery that returns exactly one column value from one row). e.g. {code} select a,b,c,d,e,(select z from t2 where t2.y = t1.b and z != 99 ) from t1; {code} 4. top-level subquery, e.g. {code} (select * from t1) union all (select * from t2) union (all select * from t3 order by 1); {code} was: Hive requires subquery to be used only in the FROM clause.
