Parse Error with '-' in Hive

[Alex Barrera]

Hi there,

I'm looking for help with the following error: I keep receiving an error
'Parse Error: line 40:4 cannot recognize input near '-' 'Platform' STRING
column type. '

It looks to be a problem with my JSON deserializer OR Hive not recognizing
the - in the field names. So far I've tried commenting it out with / and
//, and tried wrapping single and double quotes around the field name.
Nothing has worked so far.

My code looks like this:
add jar s3://sa/hive-json-serde-0.3.jar;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS viewstream;
CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE IF NOT EXISTS viewstream(
     cl STRING,
     pid STRING,
     vp STRING,
     ar STRING,
     UArm STRING,
     dc STRING,
     host STRING,
     Blocked STRING,
     UA-Platform STRING,
     UA-Browser STRING,
     UA-Version STRING,
     UA-Language STRING
)

ROW FORMAT SERDE 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.contrib.serde2.JsonSerde'
  LOCATION 'hdfs:///repo/viewstream/';

Anybody run into similar errors? I can't find anything on this problem
online, strangely enough.

Thanks all,
Alex
