-----------------------------------

             Summary: allow column names to be prefixed by table alias in 
select all queries
                 Key: HIVE-3236
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-3236
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Query Processor
    Affects Versions: 0.10.0, 0.9.1
            Reporter: Keegan Mosley
            Priority: Minor


When using "CREATE TABLE x AS SELECT ..." where the select joins tables with 
hundreds of columns it is not a simple task to resolve duplicate column name 
exceptions (particularly with self-joins). The user must either manually 
specify aliases for all duplicate columns (potentially hundreds) or write a 
script to generate the data set in a separate select query, then create the 
table and load the data in.


There should be some conf flag that would allow queries like

"create table joined as select one.*, two.* from mytable one join mytable two 
on (one.duplicate_field = two.duplicate_field1);"

to create a table with columns one_duplicate_field and two_duplicate_field.
