Siddhant Saraf created HIVE-18568: ------------------------------------- Summary: Hive doesn't complain about duplicate column unless it is a CTAS query Key: HIVE-18568 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-18568 Project: Hive Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 1.2.0 Reporter: Siddhant Saraf
{code:java} -- demo: hive> select 1 as number, 2 as number; OK number number 1 2 Time taken: 0.091 seconds, Fetched: 1 row(s) hive> create table test as select 1 as number, 2 as number; FAILED: SemanticException [Error 10036]: Duplicate column name: number {code} I had a 'select' query to which I later prepended a 'create table as' when it threw an error about duplicate column name. I was surprised by the different treatment of duplicate column names. In my opinion this is a bug. Or is this by design? -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
