title: Cloudera 5.6: Parquet does not support date. See HIVE-6384
body: <p>I am currently using Cloudera 5.6 trying to create a parquet format table in hive table based off another table, but I am running into an error.</p>
  
  <pre><code>create table sfdc_opportunities_sandbox_parquet like 
  sfdc_opportunities_sandbox STORED AS PARQUET
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Error Message</p>
  
  <pre><code>Parquet does not support date. See HIVE-6384
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I read that hive 1.2 has a fix for this issue, but Cloudera 5.6 and 5.7 do not come with hive 1.2.  Has anyone found way around this issue? </p>
