Hierarchy of type

The hierarchy of type defines how the types are implicitly converted. Implicit conversion is allowed for types from child to an ancestor. Example of Hierarchy for Hive:

Primitive Type > Number > DOUBLE > FLOAT > BIGINT > INT > SMALLINT > TINYINT
                                 > STRING
               > BOOLEAN

Note that the type hierarchy allows the implicit conversion of STRING to DOUBLE.

Hierarchy of class

More generally, every type may be organised in a hierarchy using a inheritance design. Example in Java: Java - (Inheritance|Class Hierarchy) - (Subclass|Superclass) - (Extends, Super) - ( is a relationship)
