[SPARK-9685] [SQL] Unspported dataType: char(X) in Hive I'm getting the following error when I try to read a Hive table with char(X) fields: {code} 15/08/06 11:38:51 INFO parse.ParseDriver: Parse Completed org.apache.spark.sql.types.DataTypeException: Unsupported dataType: char(8). If you have a struct and a field name of it has any special characters, please use backticks (`) to quote that field name, e.g. `x+y`. Please note that backtick itself is not supported in a field name. at org.apache.spark.sql.types.DataTypeParser$class.toDataType(DataTypeParser.scala:95) at org.apache.spark.sql.types.DataTypeParser$$anon$1.toDataType(DataTypeParser.scala:107) at org.apache.spark.sql.types.DataTypeParser$.parse(DataTypeParser.scala:111) at org.apache.spark.sql.hive.HiveMetastoreTypes$.toDataType(HiveMetastoreCatalog.scala:769) at org.apache.spark.sql.hive.MetastoreRelation$SchemaAttribute.toAttribute(HiveMetastoreCatalog.scala:742) at org.apache.spark.sql.hive.MetastoreRelation$$anonfun$44.apply(HiveMetastoreCatalog.scala:752) at org.apache.spark.sql.hive.MetastoreRelation$$anonfun$44.apply(HiveMetastoreCatalog.scala:752) {code} It seems there is no "char" DataType defined in the DataTypeParser class {code} protected lazy val primitiveType: Parser[DataType] = "(?i)string".r ^^^ StringType | "(?i)float".r ^^^ FloatType | "(?i)(?:int|integer)".r ^^^ IntegerType | "(?i)tinyint".r ^^^ ByteType | "(?i)smallint".r ^^^ ShortType | "(?i)double".r ^^^ DoubleType | "(?i)(?:bigint|long)".r ^^^ LongType | "(?i)binary".r ^^^ BinaryType | "(?i)boolean".r ^^^ BooleanType | fixedDecimalType | "(?i)decimal".r ^^^ DecimalType.USER_DEFAULT | "(?i)date".r ^^^ DateType | "(?i)timestamp".r ^^^ TimestampType | varchar {code} You can merge this pull request into a Git repository by running: $ git pull https://github.com/navis/spark SPARK-9685 Alternatively you can review and apply these changes as the patch at: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/8390.patch To close this pull request, make a commit to your master/trunk branch with (at least) the following in the commit message: This closes #8390 ---- commit 836d5ff60be8502a99395adda6d9ce53e94c31cc Author: navis.ryu <na...@apache.org> Date: 2015-08-24T06:15:40Z [SPARK-9685] [SQL] Unspported dataType: char(X) in Hive ---- --- If your project is set up for it, you can reply to this email and have your reply appear on GitHub as well.
