-------------------------------------
Summary: Add type INET to Hive
Key: HIVE-13944
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-13944
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Wish
Reporter: Glenn Strycker
In order to make HiveQL compatible with other popular SQL flavors, systems, and
platforms (e.g. psql on Greenplum), it would be extremely helpful to be able to
store IP addresses as an "inet" type rather than string.
For example, IP addresses can now come in 2 types, IPv4 and IPv6, and each can
have different levels of truncation. INET types enable queries to filter to
these families as well as truncate IPs to a desired length or filter out IPs
truncated below this length.
See https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/datatype-net-types.html for
the INET type and related functions.
