Summary: sortmergejoin can produce incorrect plan wrt dummy operators Key: HIVE-15235 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-15235 Project: Hive Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Sergey Shelukhin {noformat} <MERGEJOIN>Id =13 <Children> <SEL>Id =12 <Children> <MAPJOIN>Id =10 <Children> <FS>Id =11 <Children> <\Children> <Parent>Id = 10 null<\Parent> <\FS> <\Children> <Parent>Id = 12 nullId = 9 <HASHTABLEDUMMY>Id =9 <Children>null <\Children> <Parent><\Parent> <\HASHTABLEDUMMY><\Parent> <\MAPJOIN> <\Children> <Parent>Id = 13 null<\Parent> <\SEL> <\Children> {noformat} This only happens when sortmergejoin is enabled. This is on reduce size of a Tez job; during initialization, dummy operators are not initialized (presumably, they are not present in the work); that results in MapJoin not being initialized, even though its proper parent is. Manifests as an NPE {noformat} Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.MapJoinOperator.process(MapJoinOperator.java:350) {noformat} -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
