Jeff Hammerbacher commented on HIVE-1386: ----------------------------------------- The discussion in HIVE-61 seems to indicate that SORT BY was decided upon as the syntax and that, to simulate ORDER BY behavior, one should set the number of reduce tasks to be 1. I don't have an instance of Hive running near by, but if there is now ORDER BY in the syntax, could you please update the language guide? > HiveQL SQL Compliance (Umbrella) > -------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-1386 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1386 > Project: Hadoop Hive > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Query Processor > Reporter: Carl Steinbach > > This is an umbrella ticket to track work related to HiveQL compliance with > the SQL standard, e.g. supported query syntax, data types, views, catalog > access, etc. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
