-------------------------------------
What does other databases do, e.g. SQL server, Oracle?
> SQL: CAST string as INT inconsistent with Hive
> ----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SPARK-17592
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-17592
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0
> Reporter: Furcy Pin
>
> Hello,
> there seem to be an inconsistency between Spark and Hive when casting a
> string into an Int.
> With Hive:
> {code}
> select cast("0.4" as INT) ;
> > 0
> select cast("0.5" as INT) ;
> > 0
> select cast("0.6" as INT) ;
> > 0
> {code}
> With Spark-SQL:
> {code}
> select cast("0.4" as INT) ;
> > 0
> select cast("0.5" as INT) ;
> > 1
> select cast("0.6" as INT) ;
> > 1
> {code}
> Hive seems to perform a floor(string.toDouble), while Spark seems to perform
> a round(string.toDouble)
> I'm not sure there is any ISO standard for this, mysql has the same behavior
> than Hive, while postgresql performs a string.toInt and throws an
> NumberFormatException
> Personnally I think Hive is right, hence my posting this here.
