Xuefu Zhang commented on HIVE-6147: ----------------------------------- [~swarnim] I'm not totally convinced that these tests are unrelated, as they consistently appeared in the test result. In addition, I manually ran TestHCatLoader, and got errors as the following: {code} testProjectionsBasic(org.apache.hive.hcatalog.pig.TestHCatLoader) Time elapsed: 0.184 sec <<< ERROR! java.io.IOException: Failed to execute "create table junit_unparted_complex(name string, studentid int, contact struct<phno:string,email:string>, currently_registered_courses array<string>, current_grades map<string,string>, phnos array<struct<phno:string,type:string>>) stored as RCFILE tblproperties('hcat.isd'='org.apache.hive.hcatalog.rcfile.RCFileInputDriver','hcat.osd'='org.apache.hive.hcatalog.rcfile.RCFileOutputDriver')".

It would be nice to be able to store and query Avro objects > in HBase columns by making them visible as structs to Hive. This will allow > Hive to perform ad hoc analysis of HBase data which can be deeply structured. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
