Damien Carol updated HIVE-9385:
-------------------------------
Description:
I’m storing a sales amount column as a double in an ORC table and when I do:
{code:sql}
select sum(x) from sometable
{code}
I get a value like {{4.79165141174808E9}}
A visual inspection of the column values reveals no glaring anomalies…all looks
pretty normal.
If I do the same thing in a textfile table I get a perfectly fine aggregation
of the double field.
