Hi all: I am new to hive, and I try to run a query through hive CLI and load the result into mysql. I try to redirect the CLI output to a tmp file and load the tmp file into mysql table. The problem here is that some columns of our query result may contains special chars, such as tab(\t), new line(\\), backslash (\) and so on. The result in mysql table is corrupted by these chars because the CLI output isn't escaped properly. It seems what i want is mentioned in hive-692<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-692>, but i can't find any solutions there. A dirty way I think may be escaping the query result in HQL, such like:
regexp_replace(regexp_replace(regexp_replace(result_column_1, '\\\\', '\\\\\\\\'), '\t', '\\\\t'), '\n', '\\\\n'), I would like to know how to escape hive CLI output, or any alternative way to accomplish such job. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
