Carl Steinbach reopened HIVE-621: --------------------------------- > Inconsistent reporting of "null" and delimiter across access types > ------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HIVE-621 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-621 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Wish > Reporter: Adam Kramer > > If you INSERT OVERWRITE LOCAL DIRECTORY, you get a bunch of \N fields in your > output...If you hive -e "SELECT ..." you get a bunch of "null" fields in your > output. I also recall having seen NULL (in caps) before somewhere, too, but > maybe I'm dreaming that. > In any case, it would be nice if this were consistent! Preference: \N > everywhere. > Ditto, when you I O L D, your fields are ^A-delimited, but when you SELECT, > they're ^V (tab)-delimited. It would be nice if this, too, were consistent. > Preference: tabs everywhere. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
