Owen O'Malley commented on HIVE-5950:
-------------------------------------
Using the objectinspectors in the compare method involves a lot of overhead and
complexity. In particular, the objectinspector factories aren't thread safe.
I'd handle the individual cases of types.
> ORC SARG creation fails with NPE for predicate conditions with
> decimal/date/char/varchar datatypes

> When decimal or date column is used, the type field in PredicateLeafImpl will
> be set to null. This will result in NPE during predicate leaf generation
> because of null dereferencing in hashcode computation. SARG creation should
> be extended to support/handle decimal and date data types.
