Hi Marc,
While what Dean said is true for different schemas in general, there is a
way to do it all in the same table if the schema changes to the TSV file
are just additions of new tab-separated columns at the very end of each row
and no existing columns are being deleted.
Let's say your TSV file
You'll have to define separate tables for the different schemas. You can
"unify" them in a query with the union feature. You should also remove the
header lines in the files, if you still have them, because Hive does not
ignore them, but treats them as "data".
