             Summary: nvl funtion not working after left outer join 
                 Key: HIVE-13977
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-13977
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Hive
    Affects Versions: 1.2.1
            Reporter: balaswamy vaddeman


Recreating problem.

1).Create table with sample data.

create table tabletest (n bigint, t string); 
insert into tabletest values (1, 'one'); 
insert into tabletest values(2, 'two'); 

2) Run leftouter join query on single table.

select a.n as leftHandN 
, b.n as rightHandN 
, b.t as rightHandT 
, nvl(b.t,"empty") as rightHandTnvl -- Expected empty --> received empty
, nvl(b.n,-1) as rightHandNnvl -- Expected -1 --> received 1 
from 
(
select *
from tabletest 
where n=1
) a
left outer join
(
select *
from tabletest 
where 1=2
) 
on a.n = b.n;

nvl(b.n,-1) should return -1 but returns 1.

I have found b.n always returning a.n value.if a.n is 1 ,b.n is returning 1 and 
if it is 2,same 2 will be returned.
