Ning Zhang updated HIVE-2086:
-----------------------------
Attachment: create_like.q.out
@Johnathan, there are some tests failing. In particular the newly added test
also failed (the output attached). Can you take a look and see if it is caused
by newly committed patches (I've tested on the lasted trunk).
