--------------------------------
Summary: Read Timestamps and Dates from Avro files (stored as
Strings in ISO format)
Key: HIVE-6423
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-6423
Project: Hive
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: HiveServer2
Affects Versions: 0.12.0
Reporter: Nick White
Avro doesn't have native timestamp or date data types. Some tools (e.g. apache
Sqoop) work around this by adding the java.sql.Types type number as an
"sqlType" attribute to the Avro schema JSON field element. The attached patch
makes the Avro SerDe look for an sqlType attribute, and if it is a Hive
primitive type that's not an Avro primitive type (i.e. timestamp and date) it
returns the appropriate Hive type (the one corresponding to the SQL type).
