>             Project: Hive
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: File Formats, Serializers/Deserializers
>    Affects Versions: 0.13.0
>            Reporter: Tongjie Chen

> see also in the following parquet issue:
> https://github.com/Parquet/parquet-mr/issues/323
> Currently, if we change parquet format hive table using "alter table parquet_table change c1 c1 bigint " ( assuming original type of c1 is int), it will result in exception thrown from SerDe: "org.apache.hadoop.io.IntWritable cannot be cast to org.apache.hadoop.io.LongWritable" in query runtime.
> This is different behavior from hive (using other file format), where it will try to perform cast (null value in case of incompatible type).
