             Summary: Meaningless error message when trying to use a constant in an order by statement
                 Key: DRILL-5469
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-5469
             Project: Apache Drill
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 1.10.0
            Reporter: Rahul Challapalli


git.commit.id.abbrev=1e0a14c

While I agree that it does not make any sense to use a constant in an order by statement, users could just have such a typo in a large query. It would be really helpful if drill could point out precisely where the issue is. This is what I currently get
{code}
0: jdbc:drill:zk=10.10.100.190:5181> select * from cp.`tpch/lineitem.parquet` order by 5;
Error: VALIDATION ERROR: At line 1, column 51: Ordinal out of range

SQL Query null

[Error Id: e5cf4f6c-3d2c-412e-90a1-863897587399 on qa-node190.qa.lab:31010] (state=,code=0)
{code}
