I've been having problems getting data properly into something like CREATE TABLE raw(a string, b string, c string) ROW FORMAT DELIMITED FIELDS TERMINATED BY '\001' STORED AS TEXTFILE; using a script for the INSERT OVERWRITE call.
Only column a data would be filled. The problems whent away when I switched using '\t' as the field delimiter. Is there a known issue with using non-standard field delimiters? I checked the data being inserted by the script, but the \001 delimiters were properly used. Is it possible hive can handle these delimiters internally, but uses some processing on data returned by scripts that would render them useless? Adriaan
