Eric Hanson updated HIVE-4736: ------------------------------ Summary: Float aggregate of single value loses precission (was: Float aggregate of single value looses precission) > Float aggregate of single value loses precission > ------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HIVE-4736 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-4736 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: Query Processor > Affects Versions: vectorization-branch > Reporter: Remus Rusanu > Assignee: Remus Rusanu > Priority: Minor > > I am seeing differences that are small but greater than expected in the > output of TPC-H query 1. Thanks to Jitendra’s patch, the negative result > error is gone. However, I am seeing that the results for > > Sum(l_extendedprice * ( 1 - l_discount )) > Sum(l_extendedprice * ( 1 - l_discount ) * ( 1 + l_tax )) > > Differ in the low-order 8 or so digits compared with text. I know the input > is float so it should have all zeros in the low digits when cast to double. I > would not expect the answers to match exactly but I would expect errors in > the last few digits, not the last 8. I could be wrong, but I think this may > be worth investigating. Any ideas? > > I also noticed this, where I ran the query against a single row worth of > input (order 1, line 1): > > SELECT l_returnflag, > l_linestatus, > Sum(l_quantity) AS sum_qty, > Sum(l_extendedprice) AS > sum_base_price, > Sum(l_extendedprice * ( 1 - l_discount )) AS > sum_disc_price, > Sum(l_extendedprice * ( 1 - l_discount ) * ( 1 + l_tax )) AS > sum_charge, > Avg(l_quantity) AS avg_qty, > Avg(l_extendedprice) AS avg_price, > Avg(l_discount) AS avg_disc, > Count(*) AS > count_order > FROM lineitem > WHERE l_shipdate <= '1998-09-19' > and l_orderkey = 1 and l_linenumber = 1 > GROUP BY l_returnflag, > l_linestatus > ORDER BY l_returnflag, > l_linestatus; > > input row > 1 155190 7706 1 17.0 21168.23 0.04 0.02 N > O 1996-03-13 1996-02-12 1996-03-22 DELIVER IN PERSON TRUCK > egular courts above the > > > Result > > V (orc) > N O 17.0 21168.23046875 20321.501268925873 > 20727.931285219973 17.0 21168.23046875 0.03999999910593033 1 > > NV (text) > N O 17.0 21168.23046875 20321.5 20727.9296875 > 17.0 21168.23046875 0.03999999910593033 1 -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1#6144)
