Shawn Weeks created HIVE-17992: ---------------------------------- Summary: Hive Serdes Should Handle Null Strings Consisently Key: HIVE-17992 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-17992 Project: Hive Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Shawn Weeks Priority: Minor
The various text based serdes handle empty strings and null differently. All of them should honor serialization.null.format or another similar mechanism. Currently the default text SerDe and MultiDelimitSerDe conform to the parameter while the RegexSerDe and OpenCSVSerde do not. This leads to awkward filter clauses where you have to remember to both check for null and empty string. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
