-----------------------------------------
Failing tests are not relevant to this patch.
> HiveSchemaConverter for Parquet doesn't translate TINYINT and SMALLINT into
> proper Parquet types
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HIVE-14294
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-14294
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.2.1, 2.1.0
> Reporter: Cheng Lian
> Assignee: Gabor Szadovszky
> Attachments: HIVE-14294.patch
>
>
> To reproduce this issue, run the following DDL:
> {code:sql}
> CREATE TABLE foo STORED AS PARQUET AS SELECT CAST(1 AS TINYINT);
> {code}
> And then check the schema of the written Parquet file:
> {noformat}
> $ parquet-schema $WAREHOUSE_PATH/foo/000000_0
> message hive_schema {
> optional int32 _c0;
> }
> {noformat}
> When translating Hive types into Parquet types, {{TINYINT}} and {{SMALLINT}}
> should be translated into the {{int32 (INT_8)}} and {{int32 (INT_16)}}
> respectively. However, {{HiveSchemaConverter}} converts all of {{TINYINT}},
> {{SMALLINT}}, and {{INT}} into Parquet {{int32}}. This causes problem when
> accessing Parquet files generated by Hive in other systems since type
> information gets wrong.
