[jira] [Updated] (HIVE-4934) Improve documentation of OVER clause

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-4934?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Lars Francke updated HIVE-4934:
-------------------------------

    Description: 
{code}
CREATE TABLE test (foo INT);
SELECT ntile(10), foo OVER (PARTITION BY foo) FROM test;
FAILED: SemanticException org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.metadata.HiveException: Only COMPLETE mode supported for NTile function

SELECT foo, ntile(10) OVER (PARTITION BY foo) FROM test;
...works...
{code}

I'm not sure if that is a bug or necessary. Either way the error message is not helpful as it's not documented anywhere what {{COMPLETE}} mode is. A cursory glance at the code didn't help me either.

Edit: It is not a bug, it wasn't clear to me that the OVER clause only applies to the directly preceding function.
