Swarnim Kulkarni commented on HIVE-2599: ---------------------------------------- Attached is the latest patch rebased with the master. The patch should apply cleanly now. [~brocknoland] On your question about inserts, I think I might have misunderstood you a little bit. I ran the following queries to test inserts on composite keys and was able to do it successfully. {noformat} CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE test_table_1(key struct<personId:string,value:string>, data string) ROW FORMAT SERDE 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.hbase.HBaseSerDe' STORED BY 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.hbase.HBaseStorageHandler' WITH SERDEPROPERTIES ("hbase.columns.mapping" = ":key,cf:value) TBLPROPERTIES ("hbase.table.name" = "hbase_test_table_1","hbase.composite.key.class"="com.test.hive.TestHBaseCompositeKey") select * from test_table_1; {"personid":"person1","value":"value1"} 1385435417948 {"personid":"person2","value":"value2"} 1386691798261 {"personid":"person3","value":"value3"} 1387481795304 {"personid":"person4","value":"value4"} 1386705359123 {"personid":"person5","value":"value5"} 1386972894836 ...... CREATE TABLE test_table_2(key struct<personId:string,value:string>, value string) ROW FORMAT SERDE 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.hbase.HBaseSerDe' STORED BY 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.hbase.HBaseStorageHandler' WITH SERDEPROPERTIES ("hbase.columns.mapping" = ":key,cf1:val") TBLPROPERTIES ("hbase.table.name" = "hbase_test_table_2"); INSERT OVERWRITE TABLE test_table_2 select key,data from test_table_1; 14/01/04 00:32:33 INFO ql.Driver: Launching Job 1 out of 1 14/01/04 00:32:58 INFO exec.Task: 2014-01-04 00:32:58,720 Stage-0 map = 0%, reduce = 0% .... 2014-01-04 00:33:29,930 Stage-0 map = 100%, reduce = 100%, Cumulative CPU 5.48 sec select * from test_table_2; {"personid":"person1","value":"value1"} 1385435417948 {"personid":"person2","value":"value2"} 1386691798261 {"personid":"person3","value":"value3"} 1387481795304 {"personid":"person4","value":"value4"} 1386705359123 {"personid":"person5","value":"value5"} 1386972894836 ...... {noformat} If this is what you meant, then yes the patch will handle both select and inserts. If not, then please let me know so that I will log a new bug and tackle it accordingly. > Support Composit/Compound Keys with HBaseStorageHandler > ------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-2599 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2599 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: HBase Handler > Affects Versions: 0.8.0 > Reporter: Hans Uhlig > Assignee: Swarnim Kulkarni > Attachments: HIVE-2599.1.patch.txt, HIVE-2599.2.patch.txt, > HIVE-2599.2.patch.txt > > > It would be really nice for hive to be able to understand composite keys from > an underlying HBase schema. Currently we have to store key fields twice to be > able to both key and make data available. I noticed John Sichi mentioned in > HIVE-1228 that this would be a separate issue but I cant find any follow up. > How feasible is this in the HBaseStorageHandler? -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.5#6160)
