Pete Wyckoff commented on HIVE-8: --------------------------------- DynamicSerDe now fully supports nested structures and was committed as part of one of those initial megacommits. Need support from CLI and metastore for this now. > Hive: DynamicSerDe to support struct inside array/map > ----------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-8 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-8 > Project: Hadoop Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Zheng Shao > > We should allow users to create types and use those types in dynamic serde. > In this way we can support: > CREATE TYPE friend_information ( > friend_id int, > friend_name string > ); > CREATE TABLE user_information { > user_id int, > user_name string, > friends array<friend_information> > ); > Or support in-place declaration: > CREATE TABLE user_information { > user_id int, > user_name string, > friends array<TYPE user_information(friend_id int, friend_name string) > > ); -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
