             Summary: Inconsistent results for empty arrays
                 Key: HIVE-20827
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-20827
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Teddy Choi
            Assignee: Teddy Choi


LazySimpleDeserializeRead parses an empty array wrong. For example, a line ',' 
in a text file table with a delimiter ',' and schema 'array<int>, 
array<array<string>>' shows \[null\], \[\[""\]\], instead of \[\], \[\] with 
MapReduce engine and vectorized execution enabled. LazySimpleDeserializeRead 
has following code; 
{code:java}
switch (complexField.complexCategory) {
case LIST:
  {
    // Allow for empty string, etc.
    final boolean isNext = (fieldPosition <= complexFieldEnd);
{code}
Empty string value read should be only applied to string families, not to other 
data types.
