Sergio Peña commented on HIVE-14231:
------------------------------------
Thanks [~thejas] for the explanation.
I've seen some issues in Thrift regarding types as well. Maybe we can lower the
priority on this and a newbie can take it later to identify if it is possible
to fix it.
> timestamp support is limited to 4 digit year

> Hive doesn't handle timestamp type that have a year with more than 4 digits.
> This limitation seems to be primarily around string to timestamp conversion.
> {code}
> Following insert query would insert NULL record -
> create table ts_test (t timestamp);
> insert into ts_test values ('2015-01-01 1:1:1');
> insert into ts_test values ('20151-01-01 1:1:1');
> select CAST(t as String) from ts_test;
> +----------------------+--+
> | t |
> +----------------------+--+
> | 2015-01-01 01:01:01 |
> | NULL |
