Damien Carol updated HIVE-2597: ------------------------------- Description: The following query was simplified for illustration purposes. This works correctly: {code:sql} select client_tid, "" as myvalue1, "" as myvalue2 from clients cluster by client_tid {code} The intent here is to produce two empty columns in between data. The following query does not work: {code:sql} select distinct client_tid, "" as myvalue1, "" as myvalue2 from clients cluster by client_tid {code} {noformat} FAILED: Error in semantic analysis: Line 1:44 Repeated key in GROUP BY "" {noformat} The key is not repeated since the aliases were given. Seems like Hive is ignoring the aliases when the "distinct" keyword is specified. was: The following query was simplified for illustration purposes.
