Thanks Jeff. I'll add something to the JIRA case. I'm after what I think are
fairly common use cases, such as:
create table corporate_expenses(cost_center INT, fiscal_date STRING,
expense_amount DOUBLE);
given tab-delimited file data.txt:
SALES 20101118 39392020
SALES
Hey Michael,
I unfortunately can't tell you how to get around this limitation, but I can
point you to the JIRA issue that attempts to capture the requirements:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-896. If you could describe your
use case there, we can capture it for posterity in hope that so
