> Hello,
> there seem to be an inconsistency between Spark and Hive when casting a string into an Int. 
> With Hive:
> {code}
> select cast("0.4" as INT) ;
> > 0
> select cast("0.5" as INT) ;
> > 0
> select cast("0.6" as INT) ;
> > 0
> {code}
> With Spark-SQL:
> {code}
> select cast("0.4" as INT) ;
> > 0
> select cast("0.5" as INT) ;
> > 1
> select cast("0.6" as INT) ;
> > 1
> {code}
> Hive seems to perform a floor(string.toDouble), while Spark seems to perform a round(string.toDouble)
> I'm not sure there is any ISO standard for this, mysql has the same behavior than Hive, while postgresql performs a string.toInt and throws an NumberFormatException
> Personnally I think Hive is right, hence my posting this here.
