I'm getting the following error when I try to read a Hive table with char(X) fields: {code} 15/08/06 11:38:51 INFO parse.ParseDriver: Parse Completed org.apache.spark.sql.types.DataTypeException: Unsupported dataType: char(8). If you have a struct and a field name of it has any special characters, please use backticks (`) to quote that field name, e.g. `x+y`. Please note that backtick itself is not supported in a field name. at org.apache.spark.sql.types.DataTypeParser$class.toDataType(DataTypeParser.scala:95) at org.apache.spark.sql.types.DataTypeParser$$anon$1.toDataType(DataTypeParser.scala:107) at org.apache.spark.sql.types.DataTypeParser$.parse(DataTypeParser.scala:111) at org.apache.spark.sql.hive.HiveMetastoreTypes$.toDataType(HiveMetastoreCatalog.scala:769) at org.apache.spark.sql.hive.MetastoreRelation$SchemaAttribute.toAttribute(HiveMetastoreCatalog.scala:742) at org.apache.spark.sql.hive.MetastoreRelation$$anonfun$44.apply(HiveMetastoreCatalog.scala:752) at org.apache.spark.sql.hive.MetastoreRelation$$anonfun$44.apply(HiveMetastoreCatalog.scala:752) {code} It seems there is no "char" DataType defined in the DataTypeParser class {code} protected lazy val primitiveType: Parser[DataType] = "(?i)string".r ^^^ StringType | "(?i)float".r ^^^ FloatType | "(?i)(?:int|integer)".r ^^^ IntegerType | "(?i)tinyint".r ^^^ ByteType | "(?i)smallint".r ^^^ ShortType | "(?i)double".r ^^^ DoubleType | "(?i)(?:bigint|long)".r ^^^ LongType | "(?i)binary".r ^^^ BinaryType | "(?i)boolean".r ^^^ BooleanType | fixedDecimalType | "(?i)decimal".r ^^^ DecimalType.USER_DEFAULT | "(?i)date".r ^^^ DateType | "(?i)timestamp".r ^^^ TimestampType | varchar {code} -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-unsubscr...@spark.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-h...@spark.apache.org
