Aihua Xu updated HIVE-14251:
----------------------------
Release Note: With this change, Hive will only perform implicit conversion
within each type groups including string group, number group or date group, not
across groups. So in order to union a string type with a date type, a explicit
cast from string to date or from date to string is needed.
> Union All of different types resolves to incorrect data

> create table src(c1 date, c2 int, c3 double);
> insert into src values ('2016-01-01',5,1.25);
> select * from
> (select c1 from src union all
> select c2 from src union all
> select c3 from src) t;
> It will return NULL for the c1 values. Seems the common data type is resolved
> to the last c3 which is double.
