Zheng Shao commented on HIVE-65:
--------------------------------

Yep. The problem with this test case is an ambiguous call: evaluate(String, 
Number), evaluate(Number, String), and evaluate(Long, Long) all fit with one 
implicit conversion.

I think we have to disallow the circular conversion.

This is what we discussed on the mailing list long time ago (This disallows 
number -> string implicit conversion)
String -> byte -> int -> long -> double
int -> float -> double

Is this your plan for the fix?

> For a dynamic serde table that has a bigint column, implict conversion from 
> int to bigint seems to be broken. I have not verified this for other tables.
