Hi, In Hive+parquet, auto type promotion (short->int->bigint) is not supported. Few questions: 1. Does Parquet support this type of auto type widening? 2. is it being supported in pig or any similar project?
I'm considering this for Hive. Other data-formats already support this in Hive. ORC recently added the support as well. I'm not expert in Parquet. Can someone please give some idea? Some relevant pointers? One dev tried it (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-6784), but could not push due to performance ground. Regards, Mohammad
