-------------------------------------
Had filed HIVE-5558 to address this. Haven't gotten around to doing it yet.
Do you need this urgently?
> Support alternate join syntax: joining conditions in where clause; also
> pushdown qualifying join conditions

> Key: HIVE-5555
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-5555
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Query Processor
> Reporter: Harish Butani
> Assignee: Harish Butani
> Attachments: AlternativeJoinSyntax.pdf
>
>
> Certain tools still generate `old style' Join queries where the join
> condition is in the Where clause. A related set of issues that can
> be addressed is that of pushing forward joining conditions;
> in a manner similar to the Predicate Pushdown feature of Hive.
> For e.g. these queries can have join conditions pushed down:
> {noformat}
> - query 1, push join predicate from 2nd join to 1st
> explain select *
> from part p1 join part p2 join part p3 on p1.p_name = p2.p_name and p2.p_name
> = p3.p_name;
> - query 2
> explain select *
> from part p1 join part p2 join part p3
> where p1.p_name = p2.p_name and p2.p_name = p3.p_name;
> {noformat}
