Sergey Shelukhin commented on HIVE-14189: ----------------------------------------- [~cartershanklin] [~jcamachorodriguez] [~ashutoshc] do you have access to the text of a later SQL standard than 99? That one is pretty vague. Seems like there's implicit cast to string in these cases on master: {noformat} POSTHOOK: query: select 'NaN' < 2.0 from src limit 1 false POSTHOOK: query: select 1.0 < 'NaN' from src limit 1 true {noformat} branch-1 with this patch returns null by happenstance (because something else inserts a cast to decimal from string), so the operation returns null. I wonder if SQL standard has anything to say on this... 99 doesn't seem to. > backport HIVE-13945 to branch-1 > ------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-14189 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-14189 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Sergey Shelukhin > Assignee: Sergey Shelukhin > Labels: TODOC1.3 > Attachments: HIVE-14189-branch-1.patch, HIVE-14189.01-branch-1.patch, > HIVE-14189.02-branch-1.patch, HIVE-14189.03-branch-1.patch, > HIVE-14189.04-branch-1.patch, HIVE-14189.05-branch-1.patch, > HIVE-14189.06-branch-1.patch, HIVE-14189.07-branch-1.patch, > HIVE-14189.08-branch-1.patch > > -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
