> vectorized execution may convert LongCV to smaller types incorrectly

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-14893
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Sergey Shelukhin

> See the results for vectorized in decimal_11 test added in HIVE-14863.
> We cast decimal to various int types; the cast is specialized for each type
> on non-vectorized side; on vectorized side, it's only specialized for
> LongColumnVector. LongColumnVector gets converted to a proper type in some
> other mysterious place later, and tiny/small/regular int become truncated.
> Logically, I am not sure if every vectorized expression should be aware of
> the underlying type for the LongColumnVector (that seems implausible - I am
> not sure if type information is even available, and if yes it doesn't look
> like it's used in other places), or if they long-to-smaller-type automatic
> conversion should be fixed to produce nulls on overflow.
> However it seems like a good idea to do the latter in any case, to have a
> catch-all for all the vectorized expressions that might treat LongCV as
> representing longs at all times.
