------------------------------
Summary: Map instances with null keys are not properly handled for Parquet
tables (was: Map instances with null keys are not written to Parquet tables)
> Map instances with null keys are not properly handled for Parquet tables
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HIVE-11625
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-11625
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Affects Versions: 0.14.0, 0.13.1, 1.0.1, 1.1.1, 1.2.1
> Reporter: Cheng Lian
>
> Hive allows maps with null keys:
> {code:sql}
> hive> select map(null, 'foo', 1, 'bar', null, 'baz');
> {null:"baz",1:"bar"}
> {code}
> However, when written into Parquet tables, map entries with null as keys are
> dropped:
> {code:sql}
> hive> CREATE TABLE map_test STORED AS PARQUET
> > AS SELECT MAP(null, 'foo', 1, 'bar', null, 'baz');
> ...
> hive> SELECT * from map_test;
> {1:"bar"}
> {code}
> This is because entries with null keys are explicitly skipped in
> {{DataWritableWriter}}, [see
> here|https://github.com/apache/hive/blob/release-1.2.1/ql/src/java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/ql/io/parquet/write/DataWritableWriter.java#L223-L237].
> This issue can be fixed by moving [the value writing
