[jira] Commented: (HIVE-1376) Simple UDAFs with more than 1 parameter crash on empty row query

Zheng Shao commented on HIVE-1376:
----------------------------------

I think (3) makes the most sense.  If (3) does not work for whatever hard-to-fix reason, we can do (1).
In any case, the change should be pretty simple.

> Simple UDAFs with more than 1 parameter crash when the query returns no rows. Currently, this only seems to affect the percentile() UDAF where the second parameter is the percentile to be computed (of type double). I've also verified the bug by adding a dummy parameter to ExampleMin in contrib. 
> On an empty query, Hive seems to be trying to resolve an iterate() method with signature {null,null} instead of {null,double}. You can reproduce this bug using:
> CREATE TABLE pct_test ( val INT );
> SELECT percentile(val, 0.5) FROM pct_test;
> which produces a lot of errors like: 
> Caused by: org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.metadata.HiveException: Unable to execute method public boolean org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.udf.UDAFPercentile$PercentileLongEvaluator.iterate(org.apache.hadoop.io.LongWritable,double)  on object org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.udf.UDAFPercentile$PercentileLongEvaluator@11d13272 of class org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.udf.UDAFPercentile$PercentileLongEvaluator with arguments {null, null} of size 2
