Eric Hanson updated HIVE-4821:
------------------------------
Description:
Implement vectorized support for casting from any type to any type.
>From the documentation:
cast(expr as <type>): Converts the results of the expression expr to <type>
e.g. cast('1' as BIGINT) will convert the string '1' to it integral
representation. A null is returned if the conversion does not succeed
The current supported internal types are:
LONG
DOUBLE
STRING
TIMESTAMP
Before implementation, determine what are the semantics of explicit casting to
types less general than the internal types. E.g. what if you cast DOUBLE to
TINYINT? Can we just cast internally to LONG and let the output process cast to
TINYINT?
