--------------------------------
[~vaddebalu]: I can't reproduce this issue in the latest hive, so it is likely
to have been fixed between 1.2.0 and 2.1.0
My query runs return
{code}
1 NULL NULL empty -1
Time taken: 2.526 seconds, Fetched: 1 row(s)

> 1).Create table with sample data.
> create table tabletest (n bigint, t string);
> insert into tabletest values (1, 'one');
> insert into tabletest values(2, 'two');
> 2) Run leftouter join query on single table.
> select a.n as leftHandN
> , b.n as rightHandN
> , b.t as rightHandT
> , nvl(b.t,"empty") as rightHandTnvl -- Expected empty --> received empty
> , nvl(b.n,-1) as rightHandNnvl -- Expected -1 --> received 1

> left outer join
> (
> select *
> from tabletest
> where 1=2
> ) b
> on a.n = b.n;
> nvl(b.n,-1) should return -1 but returns 1.
> I have found b.n always returning a.n value.if a.n is 1 ,b.n is returning 1
> and if it is 2,same 2 will be returned.
> More information:
> length(b.n) ---gives--->1
> cast(b.n as string) --gives--->1
> ascii(b.n) --gives---->49 i.e 1
