Csaba Ringhofer created HIVE-26454:
--------------------------------------
Summary: BINARY types within complex types are not quoted
Key: HIVE-26454
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-26454
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Csaba Ringhofer
While STRINGs are quoted and escaped, this is not done for BINARY members:
select named_struct("s", "a", "b", cast("a" as binary));
result: {"s":"a","b":a}
This is mainly problematic if special characters are involved, as this can lead
to totally unparseble JSON:
select named_struct("s", "a \"{", "b", cast("a \"{" as binary));
result: {"s":"a \"{","b":a "{}
As existing workloads may rely on the current behavior, I think that it would
be the best to add a configuration for this.
