J. Tipan Verella resolved HIVE-7555.
------------------------------------

    Resolution: Invalid

My apologies, 
  This was in fact an issue with the query, as documented on the 
stackoverflow.com page.

> inner join is being resolves as cartesian product

>             Project: Hive
>          Issue Type: Bug
>         Environment: CentOS
>            Reporter: J. Tipan Verella
>
> I believe this is a bug, because I do not seem to be able to find a way 
> around the following stackoverflow question, 
> http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25020190/hive-query-returns-cartesian-product-instead-of-inner-join
> The issue is as follows (repeated from SO for convenience).
> This is type of query I am sending to HIVE:
>     SELECT BigTable.nicefield,LargeTable.* 
>     FROM LargeTable INNER JOIN BigTable 
>         ON (
>             LargeTable.joinfield1of4 = BigTable.joinfield1of4 
>             AND LargeTable.joinfield2of4 = BigTable.joinfield2of4 
>         )   
>     WHERE LargeTable.joinfield3of4=20140726 AND LargeTable.joinfield4of4=15 
> AND BigTable.joinfield3of4=20140726 AND BigTable.joinfield4of4=15
>         AND LargeTable.filterfiled1of2=123456
>         AND LargeTable.filterfiled2of2=98765
>         AND LargeTable.joinfield2of4=12 
>         AND LargeTable.joinfield1of4='iwanttolikehive'       
> It returns `2418025` rows.  The issue is that 
>     SELECT *  
>     FROM LargeTable 
>     WHERE joinfield3of4=20140726 AND joinfield4of4=15
>         AND filterfiled1of2=123456 
>         AND filterfiled2of2=98765
>         AND joinfield2of4=12 
>         AND joinfield1of4='iwanttolikehive'
> returns `1555` rows, and so does:
>     SELECT *  
>     FROM BigTable 
>     WHERE joinfield3of4=20140726 AND joinfield4of4=15
>         AND joinfield2of4=12 
>         AND joinfield1of4='iwanttolikehive'
> Note that **1555^2 = 2418025**.
> Feel free to discard this issue if it is not a bug, but please provide a 
> solution on SO.
> Thank you.
