Andy Rosa created HIVE-13289: -------------------------------- Summary: LazyBinaryColumnarSerDe: 0 length VARCHAR values are serialized as NULL Key: HIVE-13289 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-13289 Project: Hive Issue Type: Bug Components: Serializers/Deserializers Affects Versions: 0.13.1, 0.12.0, 2.1.0 Reporter: Andy Rosa
On the moment of implementation LazyBinaryColumnarSerDe Hive didn't have the VARCHAR type implemented. Serializing empty strings is implemented by writing INVALID_UTF__SINGLE_BYTE (https://github.com/apache/hive/commit/a266556f2bcf249af110035af1006e52f42046af#diff-aa353060bea2a72013021093b7e8a21cR86). During the implementation of the VARCHAR type this place was probably missed, and the VARCHAR type hadn't been added to that IF. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
