variable to be assigned with an atomic value from a query ---------------------------------------------------------
Key: HIVE-2165 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2165 Project: Hive Issue Type: Sub-task Reporter: Ning Zhang Currently variable can only be assigned by a constant. There are cases where a query generate a single value that should be used by the second query. It would be nice to assign this value to a variable and pass it to the second query. For exmaple: {code} hive> set x_avg = `select avg(x) from T`; hive> select my_udf(${hiveconf:x_avg}, y) from T2; {code} -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
