Zheng Shao updated HIVE-274:
----------------------------

    Description: 
Consider the test: mapreduce1.q:

FROM src
INSERT OVERWRITE TABLE dest1
MAP src.key, CAST(src.key / 10 AS INT), CAST(src.key % 10 AS INT), src.value
USING '/bin/cat' AS (tkey, ten, one, tvalue)
DISTRIBUTE BY tvalue, tkey
SORT BY ten, one;


Although, in the MAP input, the user is casting the inputs as INT (ten, one), 
the reduce output ('/bin/cat') still treats them as string, and the sorting 
happens assuming them as strings - even if the
user wanted to have integer sorting, the output has lexicographic sorting (look 
at the output mapreduce1.q.out).


In the AS, the user should be able to specify the schema in the same way as 
CREATE TABLE.

        Summary: User cannot specify schema of the script output, only the 
column names can be specified  (was: User cannot specify schema of the reduce 
output, only the column names can be specified)
