Are you using SQLContext? Right now, the parser in the SQLContext is quite limited on the data type keywords that it handles (see here <https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/master/sql/catalyst/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/sql/catalyst/SqlParser.scala#L391>) and unfortunately "bigint" is not handled in it right now. We will add other data types in there (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-6146 is used to track it). Can you try HiveContext for now?
