Yin Huai commented on HIVE-5891:
--------------------------------
i see. yes, seems getMapJoinContext and getSmbMapJoinContext can also have
QBJoinTrees. I think it will be good to show meaningful aliases for those
intermediate results. So, users can know where does an intermediate result come
from. Since it is not easy to get the correct QB.id, I prefer to use
QBJoinTree.id right now. Once this bug has been fixed, we can work on a
followup jira to get rid of INTNAME. Also, I guess that we do not have an unit
test to cover this bug. Can you add an test query in multiMapJoin2.q and
comment the reason that we need this test? Thanks.

> Use the following test case with HIVE 0.12:
> {code:sql}
> create table src(key int, value string);
> load data local inpath 'src/data/files/kv1.txt' overwrite into table src;
> select * from (
> select c.key from
> (select a.key from src a join src b on a.key=b.key group by a.key) tmp
> join src c on tmp.key=c.key
> union all
> select c.key from
> (select a.key from src a join src b on a.key=b.key group by a.key) tmp
> join src c on tmp.key=c.key
> ) x;
> {code}
> We will get a NullPointerException from Union Operator:

> CommonJoinTaskDispatcher merges the two MapJoin tasks into their common
> child: Union task. The two MapJoin tasks have the same alias name for their
> big tables: $INTNAME, which is the name of the temporary table of a join
> stream. The aliasToWork map uses alias as key, so eventually only the MapJoin
> operator tree of one MapJoin task is saved into the aliasToWork map of the
> Union task, while the MapJoin operator tree of another MapJoin task is lost.
> As a result, Union operator won't be initialized because not all of its
> parents gets intialized (The Union operator itself indicates it has two
> parents, but actually it has only 1 parent because another parent is lost).
> This issue does not exist in HIVE 0.11 and thus is a regression bug in HIVE
> 0.12.
> The propsed solution is to use the query ID as prefix for the join stream
> name to avoid conflict and add sanity check code in CommonJoinTaskDispatcher
> that merge of a MapJoin task into its child MapRed task is skipped if there
> is any alias conflict. Please review the patch. I am not sure if the patch
> properly handles the case of DemuxOperator.
> BTW, anyone knows the origin of "$INTNAME"? it is so confusing, maybe we can
> replace it with a meaningful name.
