Arvind Prabhakar commented on HIVE-287: --------------------------------------- bq. 1. Change the comments for the 2 new fields. It's easy for UDAF writers to assume that the UDAF itself needs to handle whether it's distinct or whether it's all columns. I updated the javadocs in various places to make this clear. bq. 2. Deprecate the old interface, and move all existing GenericUDAF to inherit from the new one. No changes necessary for this - the previously submitted patch also did it. All existing generic UDAFs now extend from the abstract class that implements the new interface. If you see any problems with that let me know. > count distinct on multiple columns does not work > ------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HIVE-287 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-287 > Project: Hadoop Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Query Processor > Reporter: Namit Jain > Assignee: Arvind Prabhakar > Attachments: HIVE-287-1.patch, HIVE-287-2.patch, HIVE-287-3.patch, > HIVE-287-4.patch, HIVE-287-5-branch-0.6.patch, HIVE-287-5-trunk.patch, > HIVE-287-6-branch-0.6.patch, HIVE-287-6-trunk.patch > > > The following query does not work: > select count(distinct col1, col2) from Tbl -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
