Hi Mich, Sorry for delay in responding. here is the scenario,
We have created new cluster and we have moved all ORC File data into new cluster. We have re-created table pointing to ORC location. We have modified data type of ORC table from INT to String. From then onward, we were unable to fire select statement against this ORC table, hive keep throwing exception, "Orc table select. Unable to convert Int to String". Looks like it is bug in ORC table only. Where in we modify the datatype from int to string, is causing problem with ORC reading/select statement, it throws exceptio. Please let me know if there are any workaround for this scenario. Is this behavior expected previously also. /Mahender On 6/14/2016 11:47 AM, Mich Talebzadeh wrote: you must excuse my ignorance can you please elaborate on this as there seems something has gone wrong somewhere?

We have deleted cluster due to some reason. When we recreated cluster (using Metastore) and table pointing to same location. When we perform reading from ORC table. We see below error.
