> I reported back in April 2015 that what Hive calls Standard Deviation Function  STDDEV is a pointer to STDDEV_POP. This is incorrect and has not been rectified in Hive 2
> Both Oracle and Sybase point STDDEV to STDDEV_SAMP not STDDEV_POP. Also I did tests with Spark 1.6 as well and Spark correctly points STTDEV to STDDEV_SAMP.
> The following query was used 
> SELECT
>         SQRT((SUM(POWER(AMOUNT_SOLD,2))-(COUNT(1)*POWER(AVG(AMOUNT_SOLD),2)))/(COUNT(1)-1)) AS MYSTDDEV,
>         STDDEV(amount_sold) AS STDDEV,
>         STDDEV_SAMP(amount_sold) AS STDDEV_SAMP,
>         STDDEV_POP(amount_sold) AS STDDEV_POP
> from    sales;
> The following is from running the above query on Hive where STDDEV -->  STDDEV_POP which is incorrect
> +--------------------+---------------------+--------------------+---------------------+--+
> |      mystddev      |       stddev        |    stddev_samp     |     stddev_pop      |

> Hopefully The Hive one will be corrected.
