Harsh J created HIVE-14593: ------------------------------ Summary: Non-canonical integer partition columns do not work with IN operations Key: HIVE-14593 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-14593 Project: Hive Issue Type: Bug Components: Metastore Affects Versions: 1.0.0 Reporter: Harsh J
The below use-case no longer works (tested on a PostgresQL backed HMS using JDO): {code} CREATE TABLE foo (a STRING) PARTITIONED BY (b INT, c INT); ALTER TABLE foo ADD PARTITION (b='07', c='08'); LOAD DATA LOCAL INPATH '/etc/hostname' INTO TABLE foo PARTITION(b='07', c='08'); -- Does not work if you provide a string IN variable: SELECT a, c FROM foo WHERE b IN ('07'); (No rows selected) -- Works if you provide it in integer forms: SELECT a, c FROM foo WHERE b IN (07); (1 row(s) selected) SELECT a, c FROM foo WHERE b IN (7); (1 row(s) selected) {code} This worked fine prior to HIVE-8099. The change of HIVE-8099 is inducing a double conversion on the partition column input, such that the IN GenericUDFIn now receives b's value as a column type converted canonical integer 7, as opposed to an as-is DB stored non-canonical value 07. Subsequently the GenericUDFIn again up-converts the b's value to match its argument's value types instead, making 7 (int) into a string "7". Then, "7" is compared against "07" which naturally never matches. As a regression, this breaks anyone upgrading pre-1.0 to 1.0 or higher. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
