Brock Noland updated HIVE-4845:
-------------------------------
Description:
I found a correctness issue while working on HIVE-4838. The following query
from join_nullsafe.q gives different results depending on if it's executed
map-side or reduce-side:
{noformat}
SELECT /*+ MAPJOIN(a) */ * FROM smb_input1 a JOIN smb_input1 b ON a.key <=>
b.key AND a.value <=> b.value ORDER BY a.key, a.value, b.key, b.value;
{noformat}
For that query, on the map side, rows which should be joined are not. For
example, the reduce side outputs this row:
{noformat}
a.key a.value b.key b.value
148 NULL 148 NULL
{noformat}
which makes sense since a.key is equal to b.key and a.value is equal to b.value
but the current map-side code omits this row. The reason is that
MapJoinDoubleKey is used for the map-side join which doesn't properly compare
null values.
