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. > problem in dealing with null > ---------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-734 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-734 > Project: Hadoop Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Zheng Shao > Assignee: Ning Zhang > > This command fails with the following error: > {code} > hive/bin/hive -e "INSERT OVERWRITE LOCAL DIRECTORY 'abc' select null from > zshao_tt" > FAILED: Error in semantic analysis: > java.lang.RuntimeException: Internal error: Cannot find ObjectInspector for > VOID > {code} > When 'null' is replaced by '' it works. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
