Description

Given the following table:

CREATE TABLE `DBCSTB32` (`aaa` DOUBLE,`bbb` STRING,`ccc` STRING,`ddd` DOUBLE) ROW FORMAT
DELIMITED FIELDS TERMINATED BY '\001' STORED AS TEXTFILE;

The following statement fails:

select TXT_1`aaa`, TXT_1.`bbb`
from `DBCSTB32` TXT_1
order by TXT_1.`bbb` asc, TXT_1.`aaa` asc, TXT_1.`ccc` asc

ERROR: java.sql.SQLException: Query returned non-zero code: 10, cause: FAILED: Error in
semantic analysis: Line 1:104 Invalid column reference '`ccc`'

Adding `ccc` to the selected list of columns fixes the problem.
