Navis commented on HIVE-7075: ----------------------------- Failed tests seemed not related to this. > JsonSerde raises NullPointerException when object key is not lower case > ----------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-7075 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-7075 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Components: HCatalog, Serializers/Deserializers > Affects Versions: 0.12.0 > Reporter: Yibing Shi > Attachments: HIVE-7075.1.patch.txt, HIVE-7075.2.patch.txt, > HIVE-7075.3.patch.txt > > > We have noticed that the JsonSerde produces a NullPointerException if a JSON > object has a key value that is not lower case. For example. Assume we have > the file "one.json": > { "empId" : 123, "name" : "John" } > { "empId" : 456, "name" : "Jane" } > hive> CREATE TABLE emps (empId INT, name STRING) > ROW FORMAT SERDE "org.apache.hive.hcatalog.data.JsonSerDe"; > hive> LOAD DATA LOCAL INPATH 'one.json' INTO TABLE emps; > hive> SELECT * FROM emps; > Failed with exception java.io.IOException:java.lang.NullPointerException > -------- > Notice, it seems to work if the keys are lower case. Assume we have the file > 'two.json': > { "empid" : 123, "name" : "John" } > { "empid" : 456, "name" : "Jane" } > hive> DROP TABLE emps; > hive> CREATE TABLE emps (empId INT, name STRING) > ROW FORMAT SERDE "org.apache.hive.hcatalog.data.JsonSerDe"; > hive> LOAD DATA LOCAL INPATH 'two.json' INTO TABLE emps; > hive> SELECT * FROM emps; > OK > 123 John > 456 Jane -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
