Hello,

We have a situation where the data coming from source systems to hive may 
contain the common characters and delimiters such as |, tabs, new line 
characters etc.

We may have to use multi character delimiters such as "|#" for columns and 
"||#" 
for rows.

How can we achieve this? In this case our single rows may look like below (|#is 
column delimiter and ||#is row delimiter

row 1 col1 |# row 1 col2 |# row 1 col 3 has
two
new line characters |# and this is 
the last column of row 1 ||# row 2 col1 |# row 2 col2 |# row 2 col 3 has
one tab and one new line character |# and this is 
the last column of row 2 ||#

Would custom SerDe help us handle this situation?

Thanks and Regards,
Shantian
