Ashutosh Chauhan commented on HIVE-15982:
-----------------------------------------
Checked the standard. It doesnt say if wbo < wb1, return 1. Rather it says,
Values outside the range between the second and third arguments are assigned to
either 0 (zero) or the value of the final argument plus 1 (one). So, I think
its safe to assume postgres & oracle has correct implementation.
> Support the width_bucket function

> Support the width_bucket(wbo, wbb1, wbb2, wbc) which returns an integer
> between 0 and wbc+1 by mapping wbo into the ith equally sized bucket made by
> dividing wbb1 and wbb2 into equally sized regions. If wbo < wbb1, return 1,
> if wbo > wbb2 return wbc+1. Reference: SQL standard section 4.4.
