oops, i tried on a managed table, column types will not be changed so it is mostly due to the serde lib CSVSerDe (https://github.com/ogrodnek/csv-serde/blob/master/src/main/java/com/bizo/hive/serde/csv/CSVSerde.java#L123) or maybe CSVReader from opencsv?...
but if the columns are defined as string, no matter what type returned from custom SerDe or CSVReader, they should be cast to string at the end right? why do not use the schema from hive metadata directly? -- View this message in context: http://apache-spark-developers-list.1001551.n3.nabble.com/HiveContext-schemaRDD-printSchema-get-different-dataTypes-feature-or-a-bug-really-strange-and-surpri-tp8035p8039.html Sent from the Apache Spark Developers List mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@spark.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@spark.apache.org
