Prasanth J commented on HIVE-6532: ---------------------------------- ORC creates SARG (searchable argument) when there are where predicates in the query. SARG creation fails for non-primitive columns. This is already tracked in HIVE-5567. The fix for it should go in next release. > ORC NPE on null Map > ------------------- > > Key: HIVE-6532 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-6532 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Components: File Formats > Affects Versions: 0.12.0 > Environment: ubuntu 12.04 > Reporter: nicolas maillard > Priority: Trivial > > On a select query map tasks will fail with npe for a where clause on a null > map. on an ORC table > example > select * from my table where mymap['entry'] = 'something' > If my map where to be null in a line we will get an npe exception. > Maybe the line should just be ignored. > The same query on a text format table will resolve correctly -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
