Lars Francke updated HIVE-4934:
-------------------------------

    Description: 
{code}
CREATE TABLE test (foo INT);
SELECT ntile(10), foo OVER (PARTITION BY foo) FROM test;
FAILED: SemanticException org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.metadata.HiveException: 
Only COMPLETE mode supported for NTile function

SELECT foo, ntile(10) OVER (PARTITION BY foo) FROM test;
...works...
{code}

I'm not sure if that is a bug or necessary. Either way the error message is not 
helpful as it's not documented anywhere what {{COMPLETE}} mode is. A cursory 
glance at the code didn't help me either.

Edit: It is not a bug, it wasn't clear to me that the OVER clause only applies 
to the directly preceding function.

  was:
{code}
CREATE TABLE test (foo INT);
SELECT ntile(10), foo OVER (PARTITION BY foo) FROM test;
FAILED: SemanticException org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.metadata.HiveException: 
Only COMPLETE mode supported for NTile function

SELECT foo, ntile(10) OVER (PARTITION BY foo) FROM test;
...works...
{code}

helpful as it's not documented anywhere what {{COMPLETE}} mode is. A cursory
