Github user paul-rogers commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/drill/pull/517 Good point. So, we'd want to issue an overflow error in the cast method, but it seems Drill has no way to do that. So, for now, maybe just leave it at the version that works when numbers are in range, and file a JIRA for the out-of-range case.
