I personally second @zratkai 's opinion. We have three options when the CAST function meets unreasonable inputs. 1. Produce unreasonable output 2. Produce NULL 3. Let it crush I think (3) is not Hive's option since it is known that Hive's CAST is very generous. A strict choice is inconsistent with CAST between other types. Comparing (1) and (2), I think (2) is more user-friendly. Thanks -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
