Lefty Leverenz commented on HIVE-6316:
--------------------------------------

[~ekoifman], here's a first pass ready for review:

* [HCatLoader Data Types | 
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/HCatalog+LoadStore#HCatalogLoadStore-HCatLoaderDataTypes]
* [HCatStorer Data Types | 
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/HCatalog+LoadStore#HCatalogLoadStore-HCatStorerDataTypes]

More information about onOutOfRangeValue for HCatStorer might be good.  
Questions:

* Are Null and Throw the only possible values?
* Where/how does it get specified?
* Should hcat.pig.store.onoutofrangevalue be documented in 
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/HCatalog+Config+Properties?
* If so, does it belong in the "Data Promotion Behaviour" section?

You also said 
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/HCatalog+InputOutput is out of 
date. What needs to be changed there?

> HIVE-5814 added support for new types in HCat.  The PDF file in that bug 
> explains exactly how these map to Pig types.  This should be added to the 
> Wiki somewhere (probably here 
> https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/HCatalog+LoadStore).
> In particular it should be highlighted that copying data from Hive TIMESTAMP 
> to Pig DATETIME, any 'nanos' in the timestamp will be lost.  Also, HCatStorer 
> now takes new parameter which is described in the PDF doc.
