Hey, Just so that I understand your issue better, why do you think it should be
key: one, value: 0.5 key: two: value: 0.5 instead of key: tag_one, value: 0.5 key: tag_two, value: 0.5 when you know that the prefixes for your columns are tag_. Hive won't really do anything but simply pull all the columns that start with the given prefix and add them to the key for your map which is exactly what you are seeing here.
