It's believed that a wrap-around error occurred. It's surprising that it
happens only with two rows. Same query in MySQL returns:

mysql> select sum(l) from test;
+----------------------+
| sum(l) |
+----------------------+
| 12222222222222222221 |
+----------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

Hive should accommodate large number of rows. Overflowing with only two rows is
very unusable.
