----------------------------------------------------------------
[~dengzh] I've formatted the JSON to make it easier to read for discussion
sake. FYI, there are a few stray characters at the end of your example that
were giving me issues during formatting.
{code:json}
{
"data": {
"H": {
"event": "track_active",
"platform": "Android"
},
"B": {
"device_type": "Phone",
"uuid":
"[36ffec24-f6a4-4f5d-aa39-72e5513d2cae,11883bee-a7aa-4010-8a66-6c3c63a73f16]"
}
},
"messageId": "2475185636801962",
"publish_time": 1622514629783,
"attributes": {
"region": "IN"
}
}
{code}
create table json_table(data string, messageid string, publish_time bigint,
attributes string);
The {{data}} field is not a String type. It is itself a data type of type
struct. If you intend to do something like stuffing arbitrary data in that
field, then "data" should be a Base-64 string and then you can declare it as a
Binary type in Hive. I think that's the preferred approach instead of just
allowing an overloaded String type.
If you need to parse/query specific data from there, you would un-base64 it and
use the {{get_json_object}} or {{json_tuple}} UDFs to read it.
