Mihaly Szjatinya updated IMPALA-14063:
--------------------------------------
Description: A follow-up for 10319 for Sequence files. (was:
ORC/Parquet/Avro files store strings in UTF-8 encoded bytes. However, Text and
Sequence files can be in arbitrary encodings. Hive supports specifying
arbitrary encoding on tables using LazySimpleSerDe with the
"serialization.encoding" table property (HIVE-7142). Impala is currently not
aware of this table property and treate all strings as byte arrays. It's good
to support at least reading from these text/sequence files.
*Example*
Create a text table in Hive using GBK encoding and load a GBK encoded text file
into it:
{code:sql}
hive> create table gbk_names (name string) stored as textfile
tblproperties("serialization.encoding"="GBK");
hive> load data local inpath '/home/quanlong/workspace/Impala/gbk_names.txt'
into table gbk_names;
hive> select * from gbk_names;
+-----------------+
| gbk_names.name |
+-----------------+
| 张三 |
| 李四 |
| 王五 |

{code}
Impala read strings as byte arrays so can't decode them correctly:
{code:sql}
impala-shell> invalidate metadata gbk_names;
impala-shell> select * from gbk_names;
+------+
| name |
