Cloudera 5.6: Parquet does not support date. See HIVE-6384
I am currently using Cloudera 5.6 trying to create a parquet format table in hive table based off another table, but I am running into an error. create table sfdc_opportunities_sandbox_parquet like sfdc_opportunities_sandbox STORED AS PARQUET Error Message Parquet does not support date. See HIVE-6384 I read that hive 1.2 has a fix for this issue, but Cloudera 5.6 and 5.7 do not come with hive 1.2. Has anyone found way around this issue? Except from using an other data type like TIMESTAMP or an other storage format like ORC , there might be no way around if there is a dependency to the used
