Unsigned Data Type Support

Hi All,

Is there any data type in hive which only stores positive values and
converts the negative values to ZERO?

This can be handled while data processing e.g. CASE statement or
COLEASCE(IF()), just wanted to be check if this can be handled at the Table
definition level.

Thanks in Advance.

Regards,
Saurabh

No, we don't natively support this in Hive.
