             Summary: Remove file size sanity checking from 
compareTempOrDuplicateFiles
                 Key: HIVE-23354
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-23354
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: HiveServer2
            Reporter: John Sherman
            Assignee: John Sherman


https://github.com/apache/hive/blob/cdd55aa319a3440963a886ebfff11cd2a240781d/ql/src/java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/ql/exec/Utilities.java#L1952-L2010
compareTempOrDuplicateFiles uses a combination of attemptId and fileSize to 
determine which file(s) to keep.
I've seen instances where this function throws an exception due to the fact 
that the newer attemptId file size is less than the older attemptId (thus 
failing the query).
I think this assumption is faulty, due to various factors such as file 
compression and the order in which values are written. It may be prudent to 
trust that the newest attemptId is in
fact the best choice.
