Carter Shanklin commented on HIVE-15982:
----------------------------------------
I ran a test suite I use against this and noted a few issues in HIVE-16513. I
think the biggest challenge will be that floating point numbers can't be used.
I hope I didn't confuse the issue when I said "numeric value expressions" above.
> Support the width_bucket function

> Support the width_bucket(wbo, wbb1, wbb2, wbc) which returns an integer
> between 0 and wbc+1 by mapping wbo into the ith equally sized bucket made by
> dividing wbb1 and wbb2 into equally sized regions. If wbo < wbb1, return 1,
> if wbo > wbb2 return wbc+1. Reference: SQL standard section 4.4.
