ATTACHMENT ID: 12612331 > Hive incorrecly handles divide-by-zero case > ------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-5655 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-5655 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Types > Affects Versions: 0.10.0, 0.11.0, 0.12.0 > Reporter: Xuefu Zhang > Assignee: Xuefu Zhang > Attachments: HIVE-5655.1.patch, HIVE-5655.2.patch, HIVE-5655.3.patch, > HIVE-5655.patch > > > Unlike other databases, Hive currently has only one mode (default mode) > regarding error handling, in which NULL value is returned. However, in case > of divide-by-zero, Hive demonstrated a different behavior. > {code} > hive> select 5/0 from tmp2 limit 1; > Total MapReduce jobs = 1 > ... > Total MapReduce CPU Time Spent: 860 msec > OK > Infinity > {code} > The correct behaviour should be Hive returning NULL instead in order to be > consistent w.r.t error handling. (BTW, the same situation is handled > corrected for decimal type.) > MySQL has server modes control the behaviour. By default, NULL is returned. > For instance, > {code} > mysql> select 3/0 from dual; > +------+ > | 3/0 | > +------+ > | NULL | > +------+ > 1 row in set (0.00 sec) > {code} -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1#6144)
