[jira] [Commented] (HIVE-8298) Incorrect results for n-way join when join expressions are not in same order across joins

["Ashutosh Chauhan (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-8298?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14152687#comment-14152687 ] 

Ashutosh Chauhan commented on HIVE-8298:
----------------------------------------

Issue is that while merging this n-way join we copied expressions from one join tree into another without paying attention to fact that they could be in different order. There are two workarounds for it:
* Introduce any udf on join condition like cast column to string.
* Rewrite the query so that expressions are in same order in two join.

First one disables the join merge altogether, thereby avoiding buggy code-path. So, it will avoid the bug but will result in 2 jobs and thereby suboptimal performance. Second one is a better workaround since join merging will still happen, but since original order of expressions is maintained, bug doesn't kick in.

> select count( * ) from srcpart a join srcpart b on a.key = b.key and a.hr = b.hr join srcpart c on a.hr = c.hr and a.key = c.key;
> is minimal query which reproduces it
