             Summary: Casting complex data types
                 Key: HIVE-15819
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-15819
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Parser, Types
            Reporter: Paras Sethia


The parser only supports casting primitive data types. Valid queries like these 
fail:

SELECT CAST (NULL as array<int>);

Error: Error while compiling statement: FAILED: ParseException line 1:21 cannot 
recognize input near 'array' '<' 'int' in primitive type specification 
(state=42000,code=40000)
