             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}
