Sushanth Sowmyan commented on HIVE-5814:
----------------------------------------
I see.
Yes, agreed, using toString() and valueOf as-is should be unacceptable, and we
should modify LazySimpleSerDe/etc to that effect (not needed in this jira,
let's not bundle still more changes here)
> Add DATE, TIMESTAMP, DECIMAL, CHAR, VARCHAR types support in HCat

> Key: HIVE-5814
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-5814
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: HCatalog
> Affects Versions: 0.12.0
> Reporter: Eugene Koifman
> Assignee: Eugene Koifman
> Attachments: HCat-Pig Type Mapping Hive 0.13.pdf, HIVE-5814.2.patch,

> Hive 0.12 added support for new data types. Pig 0.12 added some as well.
> HCat should handle these as well. Also note that CHAR was added recently.
> Also allow user to specify a parameter in Pig like so HCatStorer('','',
> '-onOutOfRangeValue Throw') to control what happens when Pig's value is out
> of range for target Hive column. Valid values for the option are Throw and
> Null. Throw - make the runtime raise an exception, Null, which is the
> default, means NULL is written to target column and a message to that effect
> is emitted to the log. Only 1 message per column/data type is sent to the
> log.
> See attached HCat-Pig Type Mapping Hive 0.13.pdf for exact mappings.
