Vineet Garg created HIVE-18725: ---------------------------------- Summary: Improve error handling for subqueries if there is wrong column reference Key: HIVE-18725 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-18725 Project: Hive Issue Type: Improvement Components: Query Planning Reporter: Vineet Garg
If there is a column reference within subquery which doesn't exist Hive throws misleading error message. e.g. {code:sql} select * from table1 where table1.col1 IN (select col2 from table2 where table2.col1=table1.non_existing_column) and table1.col1 IN (select 4); {code} The above query, assuming table1 doesn't have non_existing_column, will throw following misleading error: {noformat} FAILED: SemanticException Line 0:-1 Unsupported SubQuery Expression 'col1': Only 1 SubQuery expression is supported. {noformat} -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
