Hey @Hugo Almeida! Hm that's totally strange 😞 Let's attack orc behaviour, could you check your orc version?

If so, you can try to change your datatype to String (besides it's more recommended). ah, one last thing, are you using hive on tez or hive on mr? Coz I did my test with hive on tez.. Hope this helps ... View more
