Matt Burgess commented on NIFI-5079: ------------------------------------ The version of Hive used in the current Hive bundle is Apache Hive 1.2.1, which has a dependency on Avro 1.7.7. Unfortunately that version of Avro does not support logical types, and I don't think it is a good idea to try and evict 1.7.7 for a newer version of Avro, for fear it could break something with the rest of the Hive components. I recommend we address this as part of the Hive 3.0 bundle under NIFI-4963. > Add support for logical types to Hive DDL creation in ConvertAvroToORC > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: NIFI-5079 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-5079 > Project: Apache NiFi > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Matt Burgess > Priority: Major > > While other processors have been updated to support Avro logical types (such > as decimal, timestamp, etc.), ConvertAvroToORC does not currently support > them. We should update ConvertAvroToORC to handle Avro logical types, not > just in the conversion to ORC but also in the generated Hive DDL. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
