             Summary: Hive Prepared Statement when executed with escape characters in parameter fails
                 Key: HIVE-13625
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-13625
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Daya Venkatesan


When setting parameters to a Hive Prepared Statement, if the parameter  has an odd number of escape characters, then the Statement fails.

For example, I set one of the parameters to "/somepath/\044{yyyy}/\044{MM}/\044{dd}/". Here, I have escaped the dollar character with \044 because Hive gives an Atlas exception with "$" character. 
Now, when the parameters are getting set inside Hive, getCharIndexFromSqlByParamLocation throws an Exception.
Hive records something called signal count.

      if (c == '\'' || c == '\\')// record the count of char "'" and char "\"
      {
        signalCount++;
      } 

And the parameter is set only if the signalCount %2 is 0.

else if (c == cchar && signalCount % 2 == 0) {// check if the ? is really the parameter
        num++;
        if (num == paramLoc) {
          charIndex = i;
          break;
        }

Since my parameter has three "\" characters, the signal Count modulo is not 0 and the parameter is not set at all throwing an exception.
