Liang-Chi Hsieh commented on SPARK-24607:
-----------------------------------------
Thanks [~mgaido]!
As I check {{Rand}} expression, seems it already uses a seed, it sounds like
the option 1 in the Hive ticket. So if you still use the same query plan, it
should produce deterministic sequences of numbers.
> Distribute by rand() can lead to data inconsistency

> Key: SPARK-24607
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-24607
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: SQL
> Affects Versions: 2.2.0, 2.3.1
> Reporter: zenglinxi
> Priority: Major
>
> Noticed the following queries can give different results:
> {code:java}
> select count(*) from tbl;
> select count(*) from (select * from tbl distribute by rand()) a;{code}
> this issue was first reported by someone using kylin for building cube with
> hiveSQL which include distribute by rand, I think it's also an hidden
> serious problem in sparksql.
