Navis commented on HIVE-7159: ----------------------------- Reviewing this, I found some predicates are removed(replaced?) from plan. For example in auto_join29.q, it was like this {noformat} predicate: ((key > 10) and (key < 10)) (type: boolean) {noformat} But now it became, {noformat} predicate: ((key < 10) and key is not null) (type: boolean) {noformat} Similar things can be found in auto_join12.q,auto_join14.q,auto_join16.q,auto_join27.q,tez/filter_join_breaktask.q, etc. And auto_join_without_localtask.q is changed a lot in plan. I'm not sure it's intended or not.
