The result of left semi join is not correct -------------------------------------------
Key: HIVE-1723 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1723 Project: Hadoop Hive Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Liyin Tang In the test case semijoin.q, there is a query: select /*+ mapjoin(b) */ a.key from t3 a left semi join t1 b on a.key = b.key sort by a.key; I think this query will return a wrong result if table t1 is larger than 25000 different keys To be simple, I tried a very similar query: select /*+ mapjoin(b) */ a.key from test_semijoin a left semi join test_semijoin b on a.key = b.key sort by a.key; The table of test_semijoin is like 0 0 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 5 ... ... ... .... 25000 25000 25001 25001 ... .... ... .... 25999 25999 26000 26000 So we can easily estimate the correct result of this query should be the same keys from table test_semijoin itsel. Actually, the result is only part of that: only from 0 to 24544. 0 1 2 .. .. 24543 24544 -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
