Lefty Leverenz commented on HIVE-6316:
--------------------------------------

Thanks [~eugene.koifman].  I've revised the Load & Store doc, trimming the data 
type tables down to bulleted lists with reference to the full table at the end 
of the doc (although I don't like the width of that table -- perhaps the 
release information shouldn't have its own column):

* [HCatLoader Data Types | 
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/HCatalog+LoadStore#HCatalogLoadStore-HCatLoaderDataTypes]
* [HCatStorer Data Types | 
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/HCatalog+LoadStore#HCatalogLoadStore-HCatStorerDataTypes]
* [Data Type Mappings (full table) | 
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/HCatalog+LoadStore#HCatalogLoadStore-DataTypeMappings]

But I don't understand what's needed for the Input & Output doc, which has a 
different kind of table:

* [HCat Record data types and Java classes | 
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/HCatalog+InputOutput#HCatalogInputOutput-HCatRecord]

> HIVE-5814 added support for new types in HCat.  The PDF file in that bug 
> explains exactly how these map to Pig types.  This should be added to the 
> Wiki somewhere (probably here 
> https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/HCatalog+LoadStore).
> In particular it should be highlighted that copying data from Hive TIMESTAMP 
> to Pig DATETIME, any 'nanos' in the timestamp will be lost.  Also, HCatStorer 
> now takes new parameter which is described in the PDF doc.
