So I have a bug (im using trunk so hard to say if its a regression or if its fixed yet)
hive> create table a_test(id date); FAILED: Error in metadata: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Error: type expected at the position 0 of 'date' but 'date' is found. FAILED: Execution Error, return code 1 from org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.DDLTask Is the comment here correct? http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-814 because according to the language manual (http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/Hive/LanguageManual/DDL) date should be acceptable as a column type not just a partition type.
