Sorry if the subject sounds really stupid ! Basically I am re-architecting our web log record format
Currently we have "Multiple lines = 1 Record " format (I have Hadoop jobs that parse the files and create columnar output for Hive tables) [begin_unique_id] Pipe delimited Blah.................... Pipe delimited Blah.................... Pipe delimited Blah.................... Pipe delimited Blah.................... Pipe delimited Blah.................... [end_unique_id] I have created JSON serializers that will log records in the following way going forward <unique_id> <JSON-string> This is the plan - I will store the records in a two column table in Hive - Write JSON deserializers in hive HDFs that will take these tables and create hive tables pertaining to specific requirements - Modify current aggregation scripts in Hive I was seeing AVRO format but I don't see the value of using AVO when I feel JSON gives me pretty much the same thing ? Please poke holes in my thinking ! Rip me apart !
