>             Project: Hadoop Hive
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Query Processor
>            Reporter: S. Alex Smith
>            Assignee: Raghotham Murthy
>
> The following query:
> FROM (
>     FROM (FROM my_table
>          SELECT CAST(userid AS BIGINT) AS userid a
>    SELECT userid
>    UNION ALL
>    FROM (FROM my_table
>          SELECT CAST(userid AS STRING) AS userid) b
>    SELECT userid
>    ) unioned
>    SELECT DISTINCT userid;
> Is accepted by the parse, but throws the following at run-time:
> java.lang.RuntimeException: org.apache.hadoop.hive.serde2.SerDeException: java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.Long cannot be cast to java.lang.String
> (Note that this seems less silly if the inner queries are different tables with userid stored as a bigint and a string, respectively)
> I have interpreted this as a bug in the parser, but it could also be viewed as a bug about not auto-casting.
> This can be worked around by using explicit CAST statements.
