Problem Note 64343: A PROC SQL query that joins multiple Hive tables results in "Execute error: Error while compiling statement: FAILED: SemanticException[Error 10017]"
 |  |  |  |  |
An SQL procedure query that accesses Hive might result in an error similar to the following:
[Error 10017]: Line 1:157 Both left and right aliases encountered in JOIN 'xxxx'
Some of the known PROC SQL queries that have encountered this error are the following:
Case #1
- running Hive 2.1
- includes an inner join of two Hive tables
- a new Hive table is being created with the results
- the system option DBIDIRECTEXEC is in effect
- contains a WHERE clause that includes the comparison of two variables using an inequality operator (>, <, and so on)
Case #2
- running Hive 2.1
- includes an inner join of two Hive tables
- contains a WHERE clause that includes the comparison of two variables using an inequality operator (>, <, and so on)
- includes a GROUP BY clause
The query generated and passed to the database has the WHERE condition added to the ON clause rather than including a WHERE clause. Due to a limitation with Hive 2.1, inequalities are not allowed in the ON clause.
A workaround is to upgrade to Hive 2.2 where this limitation is addressed.

After you install the hot fix, you must also add the following statement to your code to enable the fix:
The new environment variable that is added with the hot fix affects all SAS/ACCESS® products. Setting the environment variable to YES or Y reverts to the default setting and results in the predicate folding of the WHERE condition to the ON clause.
Applying either hot fix from the Hot Fix tab—Hot Fix B6Q073 (SAS® 9.4 TS1M5) or Hot Fix D9T029 (SAS® 9.4 TS1M6)—does not address queries that contain a GROUP BY clause.
