zabetak opened a new pull request, #5808: URL: https://github.com/apache/hive/pull/5808
### Why are the changes needed? ROWOFFSET virtual column was introduced for supporting bitmap indexing (HIVE-1803) but indexing support has been removed by HIVE-18448. At the moment there are no real-use cases exercising this virtual column and there are no test cases either. ### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change? Yes. It is no longer for a user to obtain the offset of a row using SQL. ```sql SELECT t.ROW__OFFSET__INSIDE__BLOCK FROM someTable t ``` That is rather fine, it this virtual column was never meant to be used like this. ### How was this patch tested?
