+ xiaomeng From: Venkat, Ankam [mailto:ankam.ven...@centurylink.com] Sent: Thursday, November 20, 2014 5:15 AM To: 'user@hive.apache.org' Subject: Encrypting data in Hive I need to encrypt few columns (like SSN, Credit Card Number etc) in Hive Table. Is there a built-in feature available in Hive? I see a Jira at https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-6329 which is still unresolved. If there is no built-in feature, are there any open source UDFs available for this? Thanks in advance.
