Apache Phoenix SQL Join Limitation when using sub-queries - sql

Question

I have this query in Apache Phoenix SQL:
select WO.* from (
select "nr_id", "txt_commrcial_label"
from "e_application" APP
where "txt_commrcial_label" in ('a','b')
and "nr_id" not in (select "nr_ap_id"
from "e_workorder"
where "nr_id" in ('888'))
and "epochtimestampchanged" = (select max("epochtimestampchanged")
from "e_application"
where "nr_id" = APP."nr_id") ) as APP2,
--
(select Y.ID as WO_ID, Y."nr_id" as WO_nr_id, Y."nr_ap_id" as WO_nr_ap_id
from ( select "nr_id", max("epochtimestampchanged") as max_epochtimestampchanged
from "e_workorder"
where CAST(TO_NUMBER("epochtimestampchanged") AS TIMESTAMP) < TO_TIMESTAMP('2020-10-21 19:22:20.0')
group by "nr_id" ) as X, "e_workorder" as Y
where Y."nr_id" = X."nr_id"
and Y."epochtimestampchanged" < X.max_epochtimestampchanged ) as WO
--
where APP2."nr_id" = WO.WO_nr_ap_id;
I get java language illegal ... blurb for this not overly complex statement. But I cannot see the reason here or in the manuals.
The individual queries work (imagine the ( and , are not there), but no joy when these 2 sub-queries merged to a JOIN.
Do I need to persist the results to tables and then JOIN? Or is there way around this? I have the impression this is too complex in terms of sub-queries.

For others to note, this is a big and a different SQL Approach is needed as per below which is a work-around with note from Cloudera:
The best workaround is to explicitly define a join in the APP2 query.
See the APP_MAX_TIMESTAMP table joined with the APP table, defining
basically the same condition as in the original query (but using a
table join instead of an inner select):
The query that should work and should do the same as the original
query:
select
WO.*
from
(
select
"nr_id",
"txt_commrcial_label"
from
"e_application" APP
LEFT JOIN (
select
max("epochtimestampchanged") as max_app_timestamp,
"nr_id" as max_app_timestamp_nr_id
from
"e_application"
group by "nr_id"
) APP_MAX_TIMESTAMP
ON APP_MAX_TIMESTAMP.max_app_timestamp_nr_id = APP."nr_id"
where
"txt_commrcial_label" in
( list
)
and "nr_id" not in
(
select
"nr_ap_id"
from
"e_workorder"
where
"nr_id" in
(
'888'
)
)
and "epochtimestampchanged" = max_app_timestamp
)
as APP2,
(
select
Y.ID as WO_ID,
Y."nr_id" as WO_nr_id,
Y."nr_ap_id" as WO_nr_ap_id
from
(
select
"nr_id",
max("epochtimestampchanged") as max_epochtimestampchanged
from
"e_workorder"
where
CAST(TO_NUMBER("epochtimestampchanged") AS TIMESTAMP) < TO_TIMESTAMP('2022-10-10 19:22:20.0')
group by
"nr_id"
)
as X,
"e_workorder" as Y
where
Y."nr_id" = X."nr_id"
and Y."epochtimestampchanged" < X.max_epochtimestampchanged
)
as WO
where
APP2."nr_id" = WO.WO_nr_ap_id;
