Kevin Wilfong created HIVE-3247: ----------------------------------- Summary: Sorted by order of table not respected Key: HIVE-3247 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-3247 Project: Hive Issue Type: Bug Components: Query Processor Affects Versions: 0.10.0 Reporter: Kevin Wilfong
When a table a sorted by a column or columns, and data is inserted with hive.enforce.sorting=true, regardless of whether the metadata says the table is sorted in ascending or descending order, the data will be sorted in ascending order. e.g. create table table_desc(key string, value string) clustered by (key) sorted by (key DESC) into 1 BUCKETS; create table table_asc(key string, value string) clustered by (key) sorted by (key ASC) into 1 BUCKETS; insert overwrite table table_desc select key, value from src; insert overwrite table table_asc select key, value from src; select * from table_desc; ... 96 val_96 97 val_97 97 val_97 98 val_98 98 val_98 select * from table_asc; ... 96 val_96 97 val_97 97 val_97 98 val_98 98 val_98 -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
