Can you disable Column Pruner?

Hive v13,hitting the semantic error:

Looks very similar to:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-9185

Looks like the ability to disable pruner was taken away on Hive13:

hive.optimize.cp=false

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-4113

Is there another way to disable the pruner temporarily?

From the code it looks like ColumnPruner is always applied by optimizer and there is no way to exclude it after HIVE-4113. It would be good to get more details on the scenario where you ran into this. Have you tried this query with Hive v0.14 or later?

Yes and it gave more insight into what was wrong:

FAILED: SemanticException [Error 10007]: Ambiguous column reference visit_num in features_and_label

Customer had a duped column.

Thank you for the tip.
