             Summary: LazyTimestamp goes into irretrievable NULL mode once 
inited with NULL once
                 Key: HIVE-4757
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-4757
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Gopal V


The LazyTimestamp.init() code turns into a NULL generator after parsing the 
very first NULL value (or format error). 

The code is as follows 

{code}
    Timestamp t = null;
    if (s.compareTo("NULL") == 0) {
      isNull = true;
      logExceptionMessage(bytes, start, length, "TIMESTAMP");
    } else {
      try {
        t = Timestamp.valueOf(s);
      } catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
        isNull = true;
        logExceptionMessage(bytes, start, length, "TIMESTAMP");
      }
    }
{code}

As might be obvious from the code above, the class does not reset the isNull to 
false when a parse is successful.

So if by any reason, it is initialized with a NULL value, the 
LazyTimestamp.getObject() will always return NULL for all further rows.
