2 problems: 1) I don't see any "inner" join in Hive. If you just use join it will work as direct join. 2) Give your count(1) an alias and use that alias in the order by clause.
Something like this: hive> select users_info.country,count(1) cnt from (select userid from users_audit > where SUBSTR(users_audit.logtime,1,17)>='1971-06-27 13:00' and SUBSTR(users_audit.logtime,1,17)<='2010-06-27 14:00') > users_audit join users_info on (users_info.id=users_audit.userid) > group by users_info.country order by cnt desc; I hope this helps. -Nicole On 6/27/12 11:08 PM, "Soham Sardar" <sohamsardart...@gmail.com> wrote: >Hey nicole , >your query is working fine in mysql but when it comes to hive then it >just fails as it is > >hive> select users_info.country,count(1) from (select userid from >users_audit > > where SUBSTR(users_audit.logtime,1,17)>='1971-06-27 13:00' and >SUBSTR(users_audit.logtime,1,17)<='2010-06-27 14:00') > > users_audit inner join users_info on >(users_info.id=users_audit.userid) > > group by users_info.country order by count(1) desc;
