[jira] [Commented] (HIVE-6950) Parsing Error in GROUPING SETS

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-6950?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14010449#comment-14010449 ] 

Jason Rosendale commented on HIVE-6950:
---------------------------------------

I don't know if my issue is identical to this one or just very closely related, but I can recreate the same error with the following query:
{code}
select a, left(b,5), count(1) from temp_table
group by a, left(b,5)
grouping sets 
((left(b,5),a))
{code}
The error does not occur if I just switch the order of the two elements in the grouping set:
{code}
select a, left(b,5), count(1) from temp_table
group by a, left(b,5)
grouping sets 
((a,left(b,5))) 
{code}
The error occurs whenever the LEFT function is not the very last element in its grouping set. The error also occurs when I replace LEFT with other functions.

> The following query:
> {code}
> SELECT tab1.a,
>        tab1.b,
>        SUM(tab1.c)
> FROM tab1
> GROUP BY tab1.a,
>          tab1.b
> GROUPING SETS ((tab1.a, tab1.b))
> {code}
> results in the following error:
> {code}
> ParseException line 7:22 missing ) at ',' near '<EOF>'
> line 7:31 extraneous input ')' expecting EOF near '<EOF>'
> {code}
> Changing the query to:
> {code}
> SELECT tab1.a,
>        tab1.b,
>        SUM(tab1.c)
> FROM tab1
> GROUP BY tab1.a,
>          tab1.b
> GROUPING SETS ((a, tab1.b))
> {code}
> makes it work.
