Are you sure you are getting the same error even with the schema below (i.e. trying to set a string to an int column?). Can you give the full stack trace that you might see in /tmp/$USER/hive.log?

I'm basically trying to load the contents of ApiUsageTemp into ApiUsage, with the ApiUsageTemp.requestdate column becoming the ApiUsage.dt partition.
