[jira] Commented: (HIVE-262) outer join gets some duplicate rows in some scenarios

["Namit Jain (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-262?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12669286#action_12669286 ] 

Namit Jain commented on HIVE-262:
---------------------------------

Ashish suggested the following approach:

Based on join conditions, create a set of all tables being joined (no outer join), and if one of them is null for a given value, all of them become null.

For example,

A join B on A.c1=B.c1 join C on A.c1=C.c1 right outer join D on A.c1=D.c1

A,B,C belong to the same group (since A joins with B and A joins with C).

So, for a given key (c1), if there is no row corresponding to either of A, B, or C - assume that
there is no row for all of them for that key.

That works for the example above, and the approach is different from the patch
