Chinna Rao Lalam commented on HIVE-2512: ---------------------------------------- select key, count(1) cnt from src group by key order by count(1) limit 10; Here order by is requested with the aggregate function in execution flow of this query in org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.parse.TypeCheckProcFactory.DefaultExprProcessor.getXpathOrFuncExprNodeDesc(ASTNode, boolean, ArrayList<ExprNodeDesc>, TypeCheckCtx) while constructing ExprNodeGenericFuncDesc it is expecting GenericUDF() but here it is requested with aggregate function so it is returning null and it is throwing NullPointerException So before constructing ExprNodeGenericFuncDesc added a check if it is UDAF throw exception And it should work with below queries , select key,min(key) from src group by key having min(key) > 100; select key,min(key) as mininum from src group by key order by mininum; > After HIVE-2145, Hive disallow any use of function in cluster-by clause > ----------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-2512 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2512 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Ning Zhang > Assignee: Chinna Rao Lalam > Attachments: HIVE-2512.1.patch, HIVE-2512.2.patch, HIVE-2512.patch > > > After HIVE-2145, the following query returns a semantic analysis error: > FROM src SELECT * cluster by rand(); > FAILED: Error in semantic analysis: functions are not supported in order by > Looking back at HIVE-2145, it's clear that the patch is more restrictive than > necessary. > Chinna, are you able to work on it?
