-----------------------------------
Summary: CLONE - Allow other characters for LINES TERMINATED BY
Key: HIVE-11996
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-11996
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Beeline, Database/Schema, Hive
Affects Versions: 0.12.0
Reporter: Sameer Gupta
Assignee: Ashutosh Chauhan
Priority: Critical
LINES TERMINATED BY only supports newline '\n' right now.
It would be nice to loosen this constraint and allow other characters.
This limitation seems to be hardcoded here:
https://github.com/apache/hive/blob/trunk/ql/src/java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/ql/parse/BaseSemanticAnalyzer.java#L171
The DDL Definition on the Hive Language manual shows this as a configurable
property whereas it is not. This may lead to mileading assement of being able
to choose a choice of field delimiter.
