In WHERE clause, Hive failed to resolve alias for subquery with join(s) -----------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HIVE-915 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-915 Project: Hadoop Hive Issue Type: Bug Components: Query Processor Affects Versions: 0.4.0 Environment: Hadoop v0.20.1 Latest code from Hive branch-0.4 Linux OS (both 32bit & 64bit) Reporter: Nhan Nguyen Priority: Critical When executing the below query FROM (SELECT ip, country, count(1) AS total FROM eventlog WHERE prt_date=20091022 GROUP BY ip, country) t1 JOIN bot_ip t2 ON t1.ip=t2.ip SELECT t1.ip, t1.country WHERE t1.total>0; I got "FAILED: Unknown exception : null" WHERE clause will not know about the alias t1. And below is the stack trace 2009-11-06 11:03:12,776 ERROR ql.Driver (SessionState.java:printError(279)) - FAILED: Unknown exception : null java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.parse.QBMetaData.getTableForAlias(QBMetaData.java:76) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.parse.ASTPartitionPruner.getTableColumnDesc(ASTPartitionPruner.java:298) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.parse.ASTPartitionPruner.genExprNodeDesc(ASTPartitionPruner.java:220) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.parse.ASTPartitionPruner.genExprNodeDesc(ASTPartitionPruner.java:234) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.parse.ASTPartitionPruner.genExprNodeDesc(ASTPartitionPruner.java:234) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.parse.ASTPartitionPruner.genExprNodeDesc(ASTPartitionPruner.java:234) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.parse.ASTPartitionPruner.addExpression(ASTPartitionPruner.java:397) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.parse.SemanticAnalyzer.genPartitionPruners(SemanticAnalyzer.java:624) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.parse.SemanticAnalyzer.analyzeInternal(SemanticAnalyzer.java:4440) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.parse.BaseSemanticAnalyzer.analyze(BaseSemanticAnalyzer.java:76) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.Driver.compile(Driver.java:249) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.Driver.run(Driver.java:281) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.cli.CliDriver.processCmd(CliDriver.java:123) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.cli.CliDriver.processLine(CliDriver.java:181) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.cli.CliDriver.main(CliDriver.java:287) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:597) at org.apache.hadoop.util.RunJar.main(RunJar.java:156) It runs fine when omitting WHERE clause or WHERE clause doesn't reference to any column of t1. It also runs fine if I make no join. This is critical as sub-query is the current work-around for the unsupported HAVING clause. Hope this gets fixed soon.
