Ning Zhang commented on HIVE-734:
---------------------------------

BTW, I tried joins and it doesn't handle NULL semantics correctly. Here's the 
data and results:

Table:

Key       Value
-------     -------
NULL    325
18         NULL

Query:

select * from input4_cb a join input4_cb b on a.key = b.value;

Result:

NULL  325   18   NULL

The correct result should be empty set.

I guess the NULL vs. NULL comparison is incorrectly evaluated.
