Ashutosh Chauhan commented on HIVE-9766:
----------------------------------------
Since all columns are nullable, we need to worry about null values. For that
you either need to make null checks in get() calls or need to make sure all
object holding values (like IntWritable, DateWritable etc.) don't bork if
supplied with null values.

> Need JavaConstantXXXObjectInspector when implementing PIG-3294. There are two
> approaches:
> 1. Add those classes in Pig. However, most construct of the base class
> JavaXXXObjectInspector is default scope, need to change them to protected
> 2. Add those classes in Hive
> Approach 2 should be better since those classes might be useful to Hive as
> well. Attach a patch to provide them.
