Jitendra Nath Pandey commented on HIVE-4821:
--------------------------------------------

  The patch has some changes in NOTICE.txt and README.txt and in files like HiveSchemaTools, which don't seem to be intended. Several files have been removed e.g. bin/ext/version.sh.
  The patch also removes some of the template generation code added in recent patches, which also seems to be unintentional.

> Implement vectorized support for casting from any type to any type.
> From the documentation:
> cast(expr as <type>): Converts the results of the expression expr to <type> e.g. cast('1' as BIGINT) will convert the string '1' to it integral representation. A null is returned if the conversion does not succeed
> The current supported internal types are:
> LONG
> DOUBLE
> STRING
> TIMESTAMP
> Before implementation, determine what are the semantics of explicit casting to types less general than the internal types. E.g. what if you cast DOUBLE to TINYINT? Can we just cast internally to LONG and let the output process cast to TINYINT? 
> This JIRA includes all work to make casting operate end-to-end in a SQL query in vectorized mode, including updates to VectorizationContext.
