["Charles Chen (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2325?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Charles Chen resolved HIVE-2325.
--------------------------------

    Resolution: Invalid

Wiki states "The restrictions of using LEFT SEMI JOIN is that the right-hand-side table should only be referenced in the join condition (ON-clause), but not in WHERE- or SELECT-clauses etc."

> create table invites (foo int, bar string) partitioned by (ds string);
> create table invites2 (foo int, bar string) partitioned by (ds string);
> explain select * from invites left semi join invites2 on invites.ds=invites2.ds where invites2.ds='2011-01-01';
> {noformat}

> {noformat}
> FAILED: Error in semantic analysis: Line 1:86 Invalid table alias or column reference 'invites2': (possible column names are: _col0, _col1, _col2)

> Presumably the groupby operation in the semi join doesn't preserve the column names?
