Jean Xu created HIVE-4039: ----------------------------- Summary: Hive compiler sometimes fails in semantic analysis / optimisation stage when boolean variable appears in WHERE clause. Key: HIVE-4039 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-4039 Project: Hive Issue Type: Bug Components: Query Processor Reporter: Jean Xu Priority: Minor
Hive compiler fails with a NullPointerException in semantic analysis / optimisation stage when a boolean variable appears in the WHERE clause in some cases. A minimal query to generate this error is here: SELECT 1 FROM ( SELECT TRUE AS flag FROM dim_one_row:measurementsystems ) a WHERE flag; On the other hand, the following query is perfectly fine: SELECT 1 FROM ( SELECT TRUE AS flag FROM dim_one_row:measurementsystems ) a WHERE flag=TRUE; -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
