[jira] [Commented] (HIVE-4797) Hive Lead/Lag OLAP Not Functioning

["Derrick Austin (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-4797?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15373839#comment-15373839 ] 

Derrick Austin commented on HIVE-4797:
--------------------------------------

It appears to be bad documentation. With LAG/LEAD, use parameters in the function instead.

For example, the following appears to work correctly:

LAG(my_field, 1, 0) OVER (ORDER BY b) AS lag_1_month_ago,
LAG(my_field, 12, 0) OVER (ORDER BY b) AS lag_12_months_ago

>    Affects Versions: 0.11.0
>         Environment: Linux version 2.6.18-308.24.1.el5 (mockbuild@x86-022.build.eng.bos.redhat.com) (gcc version 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-52))

> Unable to use built in LAG/LEAD functionality. Following the example in documentation at https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/LanguageManual+WindowingAndAnalytics leads to error. This leads me to believe that this is a bug rather than something wrong with my query. Specifically:
> -- Set up database
> hive> create table lag_test(a int, b int, c string, d string) row format delimited fields terminated by "\t";
> -- load test data using local file
> -- Run test query
> hive> SELECT a, LEAD(a) OVER (PARTITION BY b ORDER BY C ROWS BETWEEN CURRENT ROW AND 1 FOLLOWING) FROM lag_test; -- copied from documentation
> FAILED: SemanticException Failed to breakup Windowing invocations into Groups. At least 1 group must only depend on input columns. Also check for circular dependencies.
> Underlying error: Expecting left window frame boundary for function LEAD((TOK_TABLE_OR_COL a)) org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.parse.WindowingSpec$WindowSpec@39fe9830 as _wcol0 to be unbounded. Found : 0
