What is Implicit Type conversion in Hive?..

Answer / Devendra Singh

Implicit type conversion in Hive occurs when a column with one data type is assigned a value of another data type during the execution of a query. If the conversion results in data loss or an error, Hive will throw an exception; otherwise, it automatically converts the data type to maintain query execution.
