Re: Does Hive supports EXISTS keyword in select query?

2012-04-11 Thread Philip Tromans
Hi,

Hive supports EXISTS via SEMI JOIN. Have a look at:

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/LanguageManual+Joins

Cheers,

 Hello all,
 I want to query like below in Hive:
 Select a.* FROM tblA a JOIN tblB b ON a.field1 = b.field1
 where (a.field2 is null or not exists(select field2 from tblB where filed2
 is not null)

 But I think Hive doesn't supports EXISTS keyword so how can I overcome this
 issue?
 Pls suggest me some solution to this. I just got this kind of situation
 where I need to implement some thing like EXISTS/NOT EXISTS

SEMI is only for exist.
Maybe you can try this 
 Select a.* FROM tblA a left outer JOIN tblB b ON a.field1 = b.field1 where 
a.field2 is null or b.fild2 is null


Best regards
