Kevin Soo Hoo created HIVE-5022: ----------------------------------- Summary: Decimal Arithmetic generates NULL value Key: HIVE-5022 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-5022 Project: Hive Issue Type: Bug Components: Types Affects Versions: 0.11.0 Environment: Hortonworks 1.3 running Hive 0.11.0.1.3.0.0-107 Reporter: Kevin Soo Hoo
When a decimal division is the first operation, the quotient cannot be multiplied in a subsequent calculation. Instead, a NULL is returned. The following yield NULL results: select (cast (4.53 as decimal) / cast(25.86 as decimal)) * cast(0.087 as decimal) from <tablename> limit 1; select cast (4.53 as decimal) / cast(25.86 as decimal) * cast(0.087 as decimal) from <tablename> limit 1; If we move the multiplication operation to be first, then it will successfully calculate the result. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
