Stamatis Zampetakis commented on HIVE-25905:
--------------------------------------------
Thanks for logging this [~asolimando]. In the absence of explicit null ordering
the default behavior should be determined by the value of
{{hive.default.nulls.last}} property. Can you update the examples in the
description to show what is the value of this property?
> ORDER BY colName DESC does not honour 'hive.default.nulls.last' property in
> absence of NULLS_LAST/FIRST

> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Parser
> Affects Versions: 4.0.0
> Reporter: Alessandro Solimando
> Assignee: Alessandro Solimando
> Priority: Major
>
> Consider the following table and data:
> {noformat}
> create table test1
> (
> a string,
> b timestamp,
> c timestamp
> );
> INSERT INTO TABLE test1 VALUES
> ('John Doe', '1990-05-10 00:00:00.0', '2022-01-10 00:00:00.0'),
> ('John Doe', '1990-05-10 00:00:00.0', '2021-12-10 00:00:00.0'),
> ('John Doe', '1990-05-10 00:00:00.0', '2021-11-10 00:00:00.0'),
> ('John Doe', '1990-05-10 00:00:00.0', '2021-10-10 00:00:00.0'),
> ('John Doe', '1990-05-10 00:00:00.0', '2021-09-10 00:00:00.0'),
> ('John Doe', '1987-05-10 00:00:00.0', '2022-01-10 00:00:00.0'),
> ('John Doe', '1987-05-10 00:00:00.0', '2021-12-10 00:00:00.0'),
> ('John Doe', '1987-05-10 00:00:00.0', '2021-11-10 00:00:00.0'),
> ('John Doe', '1987-05-10 00:00:00.0', '2021-10-10 00:00:00.0'),
> ('John Doe', '1987-05-10 00:00:00.0', null);{noformat}
> Consider also the following query:
> {noformat}
> SELECT a, b, c, row_number() OVER (PARTITION BY a, b ORDER BY b DESC, c DESC)
> FROM test1;
> {noformat}
> The output is:
> {noformat}
> John Doe 10/05/1990 00:00 10/01/2022 00:00 1
> John Doe 10/05/1990 00:00 10/12/2021 00:00 2

> John Doe 10/05/1990 00:00 10/10/2021 00:00 4
> John Doe 10/05/1990 00:00 10/09/2021 00:00 5
> John Doe 10/05/1987 00:00 NULL 1
> John Doe 10/05/1987 00:00 10/01/2022 00:00 2
> John Doe 10/05/1987 00:00 10/12/2021 00:00 3
> John Doe 10/05/1987 00:00 10/11/2021 00:00 4
> John Doe 10/05/1987 00:00 10/10/2021 00:00 5{noformat}
> While the expected output should be:
> {noformat}
> John Doe 10/05/1990 00:00 10/01/2022 00:00 1
> John Doe 10/05/1990 00:00 10/12/2021 00:00 2
