Rui Li updated HIVE-5871:
-------------------------
Description:
By default, hive only allows user to use single character as field delimiter.
Although there's RegexSerDe to specify multiple-character delimiter, it can be
daunting to use, especially for amateurs.
The patch adds a new SerDe named MultiDelimitSerDe. With MultiDelimitSerDe,
users can specify a multiple-character field delimiter when creating tables, in
a way most similar to typical table creations. For example:
{code}
create table test (id string,hivearray array<binary>,hivemap map<string,int>)
ROW FORMAT SERDE 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.contrib.serde2.MultiDelimitSerDe' WITH
SERDEPROPERTIES ("field.delim"="[,]","collection.delim"=":","mapkey.delim"="@");
{code}
where {{field.delim}} is the field delimiter, {{collection.delim}} and
{{mapkey.delim}} is the delimiter for collection items and key value pairs,
respectively. Among these delimiters, {{field.delim}} is mandatory and can be
of multiple characters, while {{collection.delim}} and {{mapkey.delim}} is
optional and only support single character.
To use MultiDelimitSerDe, you have to add the hive-contrib jar to the class
path, e.g. with the {{add jar}} command.
