Vikram Dixit K created HIVE-5297: ------------------------------------ Summary: Hive does not honor type for partition columns Key: HIVE-5297 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-5297 Project: Hive Issue Type: Bug Components: CLI Affects Versions: 0.11.0 Reporter: Vikram Dixit K Assignee: Vikram Dixit K
Hive does not consider the type of the partition column while writing partitions. Consider for example the query: {noformat} create table tab1 (id1 int, id2 string) PARTITIONED BY(month string,day int) row format delimited fields terminated by ','; alter table tab1 add partition (month='June', day='second'); {noformat} Hive accepts this query. However if you try to select from this table and insert into another expecting schema match, it will insert nulls instead. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
