hi, 
we are getting the same issue in hive 1.2.1. 
My tables is orc table and partitioned. calculating sum on a double field is not giving accurate value.
expected value is 2.7115388423211*4*E14 but sum value comes as 2.7115388423211*378*E14
 
I do not see any round off issue also, I have tried by typecasting it to decimal prior calculating sum. but the getting incorrect result.

is this issue still exist in 1.2.1

>    Affects Versions: 0.13.1

> I’m storing a sales amount column as a double in an ORC table and when I do:
> {code:sql}
> select sum(x) from sometable
> {code}
> I get a value like {{4.79165141174808E9}}
> A visual inspection of the column values reveals no glaring anomalies…all looks pretty normal. 
> If I do the same thing in a textfile table I get a perfectly fine aggregation of the double field.
