--------------------------------------
How's that, [~lirui]?
> Use multiple-characters as field delimiter

> 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.
