Travis Crawford updated HCATALOG-425:
-------------------------------------
Attachment: HCATALOG-425_small_tiny_int.1.patch
This patch adds support for reading/writing smallint/tinyint columns with Pig.
With reads, we simply convert smallint/tinyint columns to integer, which Pig is
fine with.
For writes, we bounds check the values at write time to ensure they fit in the
column. Values outside the column bounds throw a runtime exception.
> Pig cannot read/write SMALLINT/TINYINT columns
