["Ning Zhang (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-741?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Ning Zhang updated HIVE-741:
----------------------------

    Description: 
With the following data in table input4_cb:

Key        Value
------       --------
NULL     325
18          NULL

The following query:
{code}
select * from input4_cb a join input4_cb b on a.key = b.value;
{code}

returns the following result:

NULL    325    18   NULL

The correct result should be empty set.

When 'null' is replaced by '' it works.


  was:
This command fails with the following error:
{code}
hive/bin/hive -e "INSERT OVERWRITE LOCAL DIRECTORY 'abc' select null from zshao_tt"
FAILED: Error in semantic analysis:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Internal error: Cannot find ObjectInspector for VOID
{code}

When 'null' is replaced by '' it works.
