[jira] [Updated] (HIVE-9745) predicate evaluation of character fields with spaces and literals with spaces returns unexpected result

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-9745?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Xuefu Zhang updated HIVE-9745:
------------------------------
    Description: 
The following query should return 5 rows but Hive returns 3

{code}
select rnum, tchar.cchar from tchar where not (  tchar.cchar = ' ' or ( tchar.cchar is null and ' ' is null ))
{code}
Consider the following project of the base table

{code}
select rnum, tchar.cchar, 
case tchar.cchar when ' ' then 'space' else 'not space' end, 
case when tchar.cchar is null then 'is null' else 'not null' end, case when ' ' is null then 'is null' else 'not null' end
from tchar
order by rnum
{code}
Row 0 is a NULL
Row 1 was loaded with a zero length string ''
Row 2 was loaded with a single space ' '
{code}
rnum	tchar.cchar	_c2	_c3	_c4
0	<null>	not space	is null	not null
1	                                	not space	not null	not null
2	                                	not space	not null	not null
3	BB                              	not space	not null	not null
4	EE                              	not space	not null	not null
5	FF                              	not space	not null	not null
{code}
Explicitly type cast the literal which many  SQL developers would not expect need to do.
