Summary: Ordering is lost when limit is put in outer query Key: HIVE-8089 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-8089 Project: Hive Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Laljo John Pullokkaran It seems like hive supports order by, limit in sub queries (compiler doesn't complain). However ordering seems to be lost based on where you place the limit. I haven't debugged the issue. ex: select key, c_int from (select key, c_int from (select key, c_int from t1 order by c_int limit 5)t1)t1; null NULL null NULL 1 1 1 1 1 1 select key, c_int from (select key, c_int from (select key, c_int from t1 order by c_int)t1 limit 5)t1; 1 1 1 1 1 1 null NULL null NULL select key, c_int from (select key, c_int from (select key, c_int from t1 order by c_int limit 5)t1 limit 5)t1; 1 1 1 1 1 1 null NULL null NULL -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
