Nemon Lou commented on HIVE-5999: --------------------------------- [~ashutoshc] Do you plan to work on this? I have implemented one based on text file.And nee some review from hive community. :) > Allow other characters for LINES TERMINATED BY > ----------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-5999 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-5999 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Beeline, Database/Schema, Hive > Affects Versions: 0.12.0 > Reporter: Mariano Dominguez > Assignee: Ashutosh Chauhan > Priority: Critical > Labels: Delimiter, Hive, Row, SerDe > > LINES TERMINATED BY only supports newline '\n' right now. > It would be nice to loosen this constraint and allow other characters. > This limitation seems to be hardcoded here: > https://github.com/apache/hive/blob/trunk/ql/src/java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/ql/parse/BaseSemanticAnalyzer.java#L171 > The DDL Definition on the Hive Language manual shows this as a configurable > property whereas it is not. This may lead to mileading assement of being able > to choose a choice of field delimiter. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
