ATTACHMENT ID: 12618376 > Add NULL DEFINED AS to ROW FORMAT specification > ----------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-1466 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1466 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Adam Kramer > Assignee: Prasad Mujumdar > Attachments: HIVE-1466.1.patch > > > NULL values are passed to transformers as a literal backslash and a literal > N. NULL values are saved when INSERT OVERWRITing LOCAL DIRECTORies as "NULL". > This is inconsistent. > The ROW FORMAT specification of tables should be able to specify the manner > in which a null character is represented. ROW FORMAT NULL DEFINED AS '\N' or > '\003' or whatever should apply to all instances of table export and saving. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.4#6159)
