Hi Dean, I tried with removing underscore too, and getting the same output which means problem is not with underscore. Yes, it was an example.
Actual json file is like :- {"colnamec":"ColNametest","colnamets":"2013-01-14","colnameip":"10.10.10.10","colnameid":"10","colnameid2":"100","colnamep":0,"colnamecp":0,"colnamep":1,"colnameed":"31509","colnamesw":0,"colnamesu2":3,"colnameqq":"0","colnameppaa":0,"colnameqwe1":0,"colnamerty2":0,"colnameiop":"1000","colnamebnm":"23425253RFDSE","colnamefgh":2,"colnameagl":"","colnameyhgb":["1234","12345","2345","56789"],"colnamepoix":["12","4567","123","5678"],"colnamedswer":["100","567","123","678"],"colnamewerui":["10","10","10","10"]} I tried extracting one column only as I mentioned in last mail. There are values not in double quotes, some are null and some keys are having multiple values. Dean, is this json file correct for HIVE to handle it ? Thanks, Chunky.
