Elliot West created SPARK-21529: ----------------------------------- Summary: Uniontype not supported when reading from Hive tables. Key: SPARK-21529 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-21529 Project: Spark Issue Type: Bug Components: SQL Affects Versions: 2.1.0 Environment: Qubole, DataBricks Reporter: Elliot West
We encounter errors when attempting to read Hive tables whose schema contains the {{uniontype}}. It appears perhaps that Catalyst does not support the {{unionttype}} which renders this table unreadable by Spark (2.1). Although, {{uniontype}} is arguably incomplete in the Hive query engine, it is fully supported by the storage engine and also the Avro data format, which we use for these tables. Therefore, I believe it is a valid, usable type construct that should be supported by Spark. We've attempted to read the table as follows: {code} spark.sql("select * from etl.tbl where acquisition_instant='20170706T133545Z' limit 5").show val tblread = spark.read.table("etl.tbl") {code} But this always results in the same error message. The pertinent error messages are as follows (full stack trace below): {code} org.apache.spark.SparkException: Cannot recognize hive type string: uniontype<struct<a:array<uniontype<struct<b: ... ... Caused by: org.apache.spark.sql.catalyst.parser.ParseException: mismatched input '<' expecting {<EOF>, '('} (line 1, pos 9) == SQL == uniontype<struct<a:array<uniontype<struct<b: ... ---------^^^ {code} h2.
