Alan Gates commented on HIVE-4197: ---------------------------------- bq. Stable sort issue seems to be an important one ... Yeah, I hadn't thought about the point that even in ORDER BY our sort needs to be stable in order to give consistent results. It sucks that we have to introduce a sort even in queries without an ORDER BY, but oh well. I agree that FileName and FileOffset are a good proxy, as that will maintain stability in the sort. > Bring windowing support inline with SQL Standard > ------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HIVE-4197 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-4197 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Components: PTF-Windowing > Reporter: Harish Butani > Attachments: WindowingSpecification.pdf > > > The current behavior defers from the Standard in several significant places. > Please review attached doc; there are still a few open issues.
