set hive.tez.container.size=8192;
After a column name is changed to a new one using the Hive SQL as statement, the error message "Invalid table alias or column reference 'xxx'." is displayed when the original column name is used for compilation.
Solution: Run the set hive.cbo.enable=true; statement.

The error message "java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.udf.generic.GenericUDAFComputeStats$GenericUDAFNumericStatsEvaluator.init." is displayed during Hive SQL execution.
Solution: Run the set hive.map.aggr=false; statement.
When hive.auto.convert.join is set to true (enabled by default) and hive.optimize.skewjoin is set to true, the error message "ClassCastException org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.plan.ConditionalWork cannot be cast to org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.plan.MapredWork" is displayed.
Solution: Run the set hive.optimize.skewjoin=false; statement.
When hive.auto.convert.join is set to true (enabled by default), hive.optimize.skewjoin is set to true, and hive.exec.parallel is set to true, the error message "java.io.FileNotFoundException: File does not exist:xxx/reduce.xml" is displayed.
