Method Detail

convert

public static Object convert(Object value,
                             org.apache.hadoop.hive.serde2.typeinfo.PrimitiveTypeInfo typeInfo)

Attempts to convert the input value into the target type. If the input value is null then null is returned. If the input value is a String then an attempt is made to convert it into the target type. If the input value is not a String then it is assumed the user has explicitly chosen the required type and no attempt is made to perform a conversion. This may result in Hive throwing an error if the incorrect type was chosen.

Parameters:

value - The input value.

typeInfo - The target Table's column type.
