-----------------------------------------
Hello [~teddy.choi], thank you for picking this up!
I've left some notes on the review board
...but: depending on HIVE-6590's outcome this may have to wait...
one more thing: could you add the hive group to the review?
> Make cast expressions comply more to sql2011

> in HIVE-6590 Jason have uncovered the fact that UDFToBoolean treats all
> non-empty strings as true.
> It would be great to have the cast expressions closer to the standard...at

> like {{cast('false' as boolean)}} should be true.
