[SPARK-17477][SQL] SparkSQL cannot handle schema evolution from Int -> Long
when parquet files have Int as its type while hive metastore has Long as its
type
## What changes were proposed in this pull request?
Using SparkSession in Spark 2.0 to read a Hive table which is stored as
parquet files and if there has been a schema evolution from int to long of a
column, we will get java.lang.ClassCastException:
org.apache.spark.sql.catalyst.expressions.MutableLong cannot be cast to
org.apache.spark.sql.catalyst.expressions.MutableInt. To be specific, if there
are some old parquet files using int for the column while some new parquet
files use long and the Hive metastore uses Long as its type, the aforementioned
exception will be thrown. Because Hive and Presto deem this kind of schema
evolution is valid, this PR allows writing a int value when its table schema is
long in hive metastore.
This is for non-vectorized parquet reader only.
## How was this patch tested?
Manual test to create parquet files with int type in the schema and create
hive table using long as its type. Then perform spark.sql("select * from
table") to query all data from this table.
