---------------------------------
Summary: Encode binary fields of complex types with base64 and
wrap them up with quotes
Key: HIVE-16306
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-16306
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Serializers/Deserializers
Affects Versions: 2.2.0
Reporter: Yibing Shi
Consider a complex type that has a binary field/item. For example:
{noformat}
struct<field:binary>
{noformat}
In sink operators, the struct is encoded as a JSON string, but its binary field
is directly appended to the JSON string when encoded, which often breaks
downstream JSON parsers.
Can we encode binary data within a complex type into base64 strings and quote
them up like normal strings? This helps JSON parsers to work properly with
binary data.
