round() function with specified decimal places not working

[#1]

Hello,

I have a small problem with the round function, when I'm adding the nb of decimals, it is not rounding at all.
I saw that there was a problem with the rounding function in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-4523 ,
just that i'm in hive 1.3.1 CDH 5.3.4 and normally it should be fixed in hive 1.3.0..

Thank you!

Hey Alina,

I have tried this with CDH5.3.10 (a bit newer than your version) and with the new CDH releases, and round seems to be functioning as expected.

Against CDH5.8, same results. The big difference between the 2 releases is the time of execution. It consistently take 23-30 seconds on CDH5.3.10 where as it takes about 0.1 seconds on CDH5.8.0.

It is possible that my enviroment for CDH5.3.10 is not so kosher.

I do not have a CDH5.3.4 environment anymore. But let me know if you would like me to try it with CDH5.3.4.

Hope this helps.
