Jeff Hammerbacher commented on HIVE-1540: ----------------------------------------- We've got an increasing number of customers using Avro's serialization format for working with data in Hadoop, and that's where our nested data structures come from. Any design which could incorporate a serialization framework like Avro would be of interest to me. > Read-only, columnar data file for nested data structures > -------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-1540 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1540 > Project: Hadoop Hive > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Jeff Hammerbacher > > RCFile is a great start on an optimized layout for working with structured > data with Hive. Given that Hive's data model supports nested lists and maps, > and taking inspiration from the recent work by Google on Dremel, it may be > useful for the Hive community to think about how to improve the RCFile format > for nested data structures. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
