It's fragile to share views between Spark and Hive because different systems have different SQL dialects. They may interpret the view SQL query differently and introduce unexpected behaviors. In this case, Spark returns decimal type for gender * 0.3 - 0.1 but Hive returns double type. The view schema was determined during creation by Hive, which does not match the view SQL query when we use Spark to read the view. We need to re-create this view using Spark. Actually I think we need to do the same for every Hive view if we need to use it in Spark.

The problem is that the SQL that legally creates a view in hive will make an error when executed in spark SQL. The SQL is as follows: CREATE VIEW test_db.my_view AS select case when age > 12 then gender * 0.3 - 0.1 end AS TT, gender, age, careers, education from test_db.my_table; The error message is as follows: Cannot up cast TT from decimal(13, 1) to double. The type path of the target object is: You can either add an explicit cast to the input data or choose a higher precision type of the field in the target object How should we solve this problem?
