Sergey Shelukhin commented on HIVE-16881:
-----------------------------------------
It won't return true for 'YE' since it only handles single character strings.
This looks like an unnecessary change to me that needlessly adds a dependency
for a very simple piece of code.

> private static Boolean extractSqlBoolean(Object value) throws MetaException {
> // MySQL has booleans, but e.g. Derby uses 'Y'/'N' mapping. People using
> derby probably
> // don't care about performance anyway, but let's cover the common case.
> if (value == null) return null;
> if (value instanceof Boolean) return (Boolean)value;
> Character c = null;
> if (value instanceof String && ((String)value).length() == 1) {
> c = ((String)value).charAt(0);

> if (c == null) return null;

> if (c == 'N') return false;
> throw new MetaException("Cannot extract boolean from column value " +
> value);

> {code}
> It's not very clear here what the code intends. For example, if the _value_
> is "YE" then the code returns _null_. If the _value_ is "Z" then an
> exception is thrown.
> # Change this to throw an exception when any invalid value is encountered
> # Add comments
> # Use Apache Commons Library for parsing
