LAST_VALUE Windowing function has been returning bad results, as far as I can tell from day 1. And, it seems like the tests are also asserting that LAST_VALUE gives the wrong result. Here's the test output: https://github.com/apache/hive/blob/branch-0.14/ql/src/test/results/clientpositive/windowing_navfn.q.out#L587 The query is: {code} select t, s, i, last_value(i) over (partition by t order by s) {code} The result is: {code} t s i last_value(i) ------------------------------------------------------- 10 oscar allen 65662 65662 10 oscar carson 65549 65549 {code} LAST_VALUE(i) should have returned 65549 in both records, instead it simply ends up returning i. Another way you can make sure LAST_VALUE is bad is to verify it's result against LEAD(i,1) over (partition by t order by s). LAST_VALUE being last value should always be more (in terms of the specified 'order by s') than the lead by 1. While this doesn't directly apply to the above query, if the result set had more rows, you would clearly see records where lead is higher than last_value which is semantically incorrect. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
