Remus Rusanu commented on HIVE-16479: ------------------------------------- Standard says {{<join condition>}} syntax is {{::ON <search condition>}} (SQL99 pg. 238) and {{<search condition>}} is the same as {{<boolean value expression>}} (SQL99 pg. 322). I guess {{NULL}} does satisfy the criteria, since is a valid value for a boolean. I think the NULL condition should not match any rows. > Non boolean join condition results in runtime error > --------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-16479 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-16479 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Remus Rusanu > Assignee: Remus Rusanu > > Should be captured at compile-time -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
