Zoltan Haindrich commented on HIVE-17454: ----------------------------------------- Hello, I was planning to look into this...but I'm not yet understand the goal of the query; could you give a smaller example possibly? By using "unbounded preceeding" you would like to get the maximum so-far - am I correct? hmm...you've written "rows unbounded preceding and unbounded following" but your query only contains unbounded preceding... Could you give a sample which can be executed? {code} create table t (a int,b int); insert into t values (1,1),(1,2),(1,3),(2,4),(2,5),(2,6),(3,7),(3,8),(3,9); select a,b,sum(b) over (partition by a order by b rows unbounded preceding) from t; {code} > Hive - MAX Window function does not accept more than 1 sort key and does not > work as expected with rows window clause > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-17454 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-17454 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Hive > Affects Versions: 1.2.0 > Reporter: Krish B > Priority: Minor > > Hi, > I see MAX window function is throwing error if I use more than one order by > clause. But when I use window clause (rows), it works fine but the results > are not as expected as shown below. > From the data shown below, I was expecting max_individual_id should be 42562 > for all the individuals under same HICN_NBR but I am getting different > results. I tried "rows unbounded preceding and unbounded following" but > results are still not as expected.
