Edward Capriolo commented on HIVE-3298: --------------------------------------- That is what it is supposed to do. If you are selecting a table with no rows you are going to get no rows. Consider looking at the duelinputformat I created. It always returns a single row regardless of the data. https://github.com/edwardcapriolo/DualInputFormat > select 1+1 from dual; if dual is an empty table this statement will return no > result > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-3298 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-3298 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Query Processor > Affects Versions: 0.8.1 > Environment: Linux 3.0.0-14-generic #23-Ubuntu SMP Mon Nov 21 > 20:34:47 UTC 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux > java version "1.6.0_25" > hadoop-0.20.2-cdh3u0 > hive-0.8.1 > Reporter: caofangkun > Priority: Minor > > hive>drop table if exists dual; > hive>create table dual (dummy string); > hive>select 1+1 from dual; > Total MapReduce jobs = 1 > Launching Job 1 out of 1 > Number of reduce tasks is set to 0 since there's no reduce operator > Starting Job = job_201206081154_0458, Tracking URL = > http://dwtest-93-61:50030/jobdetails.jsp?jobid=job_201206081154_0458 > Kill Command = /home/hive/hadoop-0.20.2-cdh3u0/bin/hadoop job > -Dmapred.job.tracker=dwtest-93-61:9001 -kill job_201206081154_0458 > Hadoop job information for Stage-1: number of mappers: 0; number of reducers: > 0 > 2012-07-25 16:58:15,793 Stage-1 map = 0%, reduce = 0% > 2012-07-25 16:58:17,817 Stage-1 map = 100%, reduce = 100% > Ended Job = job_201206081154_0458 > MapReduce Jobs Launched: > Job 0: HDFS Read: 0 HDFS Write: 0 SUCESS > Total MapReduce CPU Time Spent: 0 msec > OK > Time taken: 6.607 seconds -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
