Another reason I can think of is possibly some STRING column in your table has a "DELIMITER" character…Like once in production I had tab spaces in the string and my table was also defined using TAB as delimiter

In other SQL dialects like DB2 this is facilitated by the WITH keyword. Maybe the Hive gurus will implement that some day. But that's a topic for another day. So all that said, i see that the columns in your create table statement don't match the columns in your outermost select statement. In particular, DT_JOUR is listed as the 6th column in your create table statement but it appears to be the 2nd column in your select statement. So something looks fishy there. My guess is ultimately you're missing a comma somewhere in the select list so hive is eating an column as a column alias and all your data is skewed over by one column. This happens not so infrequently since it is valid sql. Long winded answer to a simple question. Apologies up front!

I have launch a hive script to make some calculations, joins, union, etc... and then insert these results in over hive table. Everything is working fine (.hql is working, full ok, data are imported), but one field (CO_RGRP_PRODUITS) is very strange. after the insert, CO_RGRP_PRODUITS is looking like a TIMESTAMP (1970-01-01 01:00:00) instead of being a simple STRING. I precise that source field are simple string like this : 0101380, for example What is going wrong here. You can find my script below (create table and .hql insert/calculations) Thanks for your help.
