Thanks. So is the nesting limit 10 now? Does your 2nd paragraph mean that this 
limit cannot easily be raised?

Subject: Re: Limit to columns or nesting of Hive table?

There is an open jira ticket on this. There is a hard coded limit but it could 
be raised with some mostly minor code changes.

One of the bigger problems is that hive stores the definition of a column in 
JDBC "column" and for some databases larger nested structs can case issues.
