    Description

      HIVE-5814 added support for new types in HCat. The PDF file in that bug explains exactly how these map to Pig types. This should be added to the Wiki somewhere (probably here https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/HCatalog+LoadStore).

      In particular it should be highlighted that copying data from Hive TIMESTAMP to Pig DATETIME, any 'nanos' in the timestamp will be lost. Also, HCatStorer now takes new parameter which is described in the PDF doc.
