--------------------------------------
Summary: HPL/SQL Comparisons are only supported with strings and
integers
Key: HIVE-17032
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-17032
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Bug
Components: hpl/sql
Reporter: Carter Shanklin
Priority: Critical
This bug is part of a series of issues and surprising behavior I encountered
writing a reporting script that would aggregate values and give rows different
classifications based on an the aggregate. Addressing some or all of these
issues would make HPL/SQL more accessible to newcomers.
In Var.java:
{code}
public int compareTo(Var v) {
if (this == v) {
return 0;
}
else if (v == null) {
return -1;
}
else if (type == Type.BIGINT && v.type == Type.BIGINT) {
return ((Long)value).compareTo((Long)v.value);
}
else if (type == Type.STRING && v.type == Type.STRING) {
return ((String)value).compareTo((String)v.value);
}
return -1;
}
{code}
It's surprising that comparisons with doubles and decimals (for example) don't
work as expected.
