Hi everyone, I happened to find some people struggling to store values of the TIME type in a Hive table from another query engine. A viable option is to use Iceberg or another format instead of Hive native tables since Hive doesn't directly support the type. I agree that it could be one of the right options in this era.
On the other hand, I also think it is a valid request to support TIME since it is one of the types defined in the SQL standard. I expect it is not a bad offer also for Hive users if they can process Iceberg's TIME as Hive's TIME, not STRING or other alternatives. I'd like to hear if we have any reasons not to support it easily. I see there is a related ticket but looks like we have not developed TIME yet. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1269 Regards, Okumin
