Jonathan Chang commented on HIVE-2509:
--------------------------------------
To put it another way, once you have complex types (arrays, maps, struct and
the like) you either need strong typing (a la C++, Java, etc.) or full-on duck
typing (a la Python). I don't think any language has successfully maintained a
middle ground (what Hive is trying to do right now).

> Typing bigints is a pain because you have to write CAST(0 AS BIGINT). We
> should let people type 0L instead.
