I tried creating a table with the following command:

create table foo
stored as parquet
as
select cast('0001-01-01 00:00:00' as timestamp) ts;

If I launch such command in Impala, the timestamp becomes a NULL value and from that moment on both Hive and Impala see the content as NULL. However, if I create the table using Hive the timestamp is preserved and I can see it correctly within Hive, but Impala shows the following error:

Year is out of valid range: 1400..10000

How can I handle this issue? I need both parquet format and the Impala connection.
