Resolved after following the below:

"You can try changing the data type of totmiles variable to double. Drop the table riskfactor from HIve and create it again with:

drop table riskfactor;

CREATE TABLE riskfactor (driverid string,events bigint,totmiles double,riskfactor float) STORED AS ORC;" Thanks to suggestion from @Michael Young and @mrizvi.
