Hi,
I am using the version 0.9.0 and my tables are the same with TPC-H
benchmark:

Here is a simple query(works correctly):

*Q1*
INSERT OVERWRITE TABLE customer_orders_statistics
 SELECT C_CUSTKEY FROM CUSTOMER
 LEFT SEMI JOIN(
  SELECT O_CUSTKEY FROM ORDERS WHERE unix_timestamp(O_ORDERDATE,
'yyyy-MM-dd') > unix_timestamp('1995-12-31','yyyy-MM-dd')
 ) tempTable ON tempTable.O_CUSTKEY=CUSTOMER.C_CUSTKEY

it means inserting the key of customers who has orders since 1995-12-31
into another table.
But if I write the query like this:

*Q2*
INSERT OVERWRITE TABLE customer_orders_statistics
 SELECT C_CUSTKEY FROM CUSTOMER
 LEFT SEMI JOIN ORDERS
 ON CUSTOMER.C_CUSTKEY=ORDERS.O_CUSTKEY
 *AND *unix_timestamp(ORDERS.O_ORDERDATE, 'yyyy-MM-dd') >
unix_timestamp('1995-12-31','yyyy-MM-dd')

I will get exception from Hive:
FAILED: Hive Internal Error: java.lang.NullPointerException(null)

Also,If I write the query like this:
*Q3*
INSERT OVERWRITE TABLE customer_orders_statistics
 SELECT C_CUSTKEY FROM CUSTOMER
 LEFT SEMI JOIN ORDERS
 ON CUSTOMER.C_CUSTKEY=ORDERS.O_CUSTKEY
 *WHERE *unix_timestamp(ORDERS.O_ORDERDATE, 'yyyy-MM-dd') >
unix_timestamp('1995-12-31','yyyy-MM-dd')

Then this query can be executed(wondering the right hand of SEMI JOIN can
be referenced in WHERE clause now?), but the result is wrong(comparing to *Q1,
Q1*'s result is the same with mysql).
