Hive .12 on Hadoop 2 I have a table with a mix of STRING and DECIMAL fields that is stored as ORC no compression or partitions. I wanted to create a copy of this table with CTAS, stored also as ORC. The job fails with NumberFormatException at the HiveDecimal class but I can't narrow it down the the field.
The job succeeds if I store the new table with the default storage format. A bit strange going from ORC to ORC with CTAS isn't it? Thanks, -Kris
