Sivanesan commented on HIVE-5795: --------------------------------- I agree with prashant kumar- I face this exacr issue. I find this issue only when I use CombineHiveInputFormat and not while using HiveInputFormat. Does this have something to do with InputSplit? Please help. > Hive should be able to skip header and footer rows when reading data file for > a table > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-5795 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-5795 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Shuaishuai Nie > Assignee: Shuaishuai Nie > Labels: TODOC13 > Fix For: 0.13.0 > > Attachments: HIVE-5795.1.patch, HIVE-5795.2.patch, HIVE-5795.3.patch, > HIVE-5795.4.patch, HIVE-5795.5.patch > > > Hive should be able to skip header and footer lines when reading data file > from table. In this way, user don't need to processing data which generated > by other application with a header or footer and directly use the file for > table operations. > To implement this, the idea is adding new properties in table descriptions to > define the number of lines in header and footer and skip them when reading > the record from record reader. An DDL example for creating a table with > header and footer should be like this: > {code} > Create external table testtable (name string, message string) row format > delimited fields terminated by '\t' lines terminated by '\n' location > '/testtable' tblproperties ("skip.header.line.count"="1", > "skip.footer.line.count"="2"); > {code} -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
