> Key: HIVE-17032
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-17032
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: hpl/sql
> Reporter: Carter Shanklin
> Assignee: Dmitry Tolpeko
> Priority: Critical
> Attachments: HIVE-17032.1.patch
>
>
> This bug is part of a series of issues and surprising behavior I encountered
> writing a reporting script that would aggregate values and give rows
> different classifications based on an the aggregate. Addressing some or all
> of these issues would make HPL/SQL more accessible to newcomers.
> In Var.java:
> {code}
> public int compareTo(Var v) {
> if (this == v) {
> return 0;
> }
> else if (v == null) {
> return -1;
> }
> else if (type == Type.BIGINT && v.type == Type.BIGINT) {
> return ((Long)value).compareTo((Long)v.value);
> }
> else if (type == Type.STRING && v.type == Type.STRING) {
> return ((String)value).compareTo((String)v.value);
> }
> return -1;
> }
> {code}
> It's surprising that comparisons with doubles and decimals (for example)
> don't work as expected.
