------------------------------------
Summary: allow user to control out-of-range values in HCatStorer
Key: HIVE-6232
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-6232
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Sub-task
Components: HCatalog
Affects Versions: 0.13.0
Reporter: Eugene Koifman
Assignee: Eugene Koifman
Pig values support wider range than Hive. e.g. Pig BIGDECIMAL vs Hive DECIMAL.
When storing Pig data into Hive table, if the value is out of range there are
2 options:
1. throw an exception.
2. write NULL instead of the value
The 1st has the drawback that it may kill the process that loads 100M rows
after 90M rows have been loaded. But the 2nd may not be appropriate for all
use cases.
Should add support for additional parameters in HCatStorer where the user can
specify an option to controll this.
