Simple UDAFs with more than 1 parameter crash on empty row query -----------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HIVE-1376 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1376 Project: Hadoop Hive Issue Type: Bug Components: Query Processor Affects Versions: 0.6.0 Reporter: Mayank Lahiri Fix For: 0.6.0 Simple UDAFs with more than 1 parameter crash when the query returns no rows. Currently, this only seems to affect the percentile() UDAF where the second parameter is the percentile to be computed (of type double). I've also verified the bug by adding a dummy parameter to ExampleMin in contrib. On an empty query, Hive seems to be trying to resolve an iterate() method with signature {null,null} instead of {null,double}. You can reproduce this bug using: CREATE TABLE pct_test ( val INT ); SELECT percentile(val, 0.5) FROM pct_test; which produces a lot of errors like: Caused by: org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.metadata.HiveException: Unable to execute method public boolean org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.udf.UDAFPercentile$PercentileLongEvaluator.iterate(org.apache.hadoop.io.LongWritable,double) on object org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.udf.udafpercentile$percentilelongevalua...@11d13272 of class org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.udf.UDAFPercentile$PercentileLongEvaluator with arguments {null, null} of size 2 -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
