Sergey Shelukhin commented on HIVE-12667: ----------------------------------------- Target column in all cases is reported as string. Is that what it's cast to? String cast should be a no-op. > Proper fix for HIVE-12473 > ------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-12667 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-12667 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Gunther Hagleitner > Assignee: Gunther Hagleitner > Attachments: HIVE-12667.1.patch > > > HIVE-12473 has added an incorrect comment and also lacks a test case. > Benefits of this fix: > * Does not say: "Probably doesn't work" > * Does not use grammar like "subquery columns and such" > * Adds test cases, that let you verify the fix > * Doesn't rely on certain structure of key expr, just takes the type at > compile time > * Doesn't require an additional walk of each key expression > * Shows the type used in explain -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
