Hi,

I'm new to using Parquet and ORC files and I'm hitting a problem with
querying nested data.  Can those files formats be used to query deeply
nested data?

If yes, why I am getting an error with the SerDes for both of them?

Here's the background:

I'm starting from a JSON data file like this:

{
    "ClientCode": "ABC",
    "JSONUpdateDtm": "200901011000",
    "Encounter": {
        "Number": "5555555-9999999",
        "Patient": {
            "PatientNumber": "987654321",
            "SSN": "123-45-6789"
        },
        "Payers": [
            {
                "SequenceNumber": "1",
                "Payer": "MC",
                "Description": "Medicaid"
            },
            {
                "SequenceNumber": "2",
                "Payer": "XYZ"
            }
        ]
    }
}

and I've created a Hive table with this schema using a JSON SerDe:

  ClientCode STRING,
  Encounter STRUCT<Number:STRING, Patient:STRUCT<PatientNumber:STRING,
SSN:STRING>, Payers:ARRAY<STRUCT<Description:STRING, Payer:STRING,
SequenceNumber:STRING>>>,
  JSONUpdateDtm STRING)

I can issue this query just fine:

> hive select clientcode, encounter.Number, encounter.patient.ssn from
json_tbl;
OK
DEF     4444-88888      444-45-4444
ABC     5555555-9999999 123-45-6789


I then created Parquet and ORCFile versions of this data set:

CREATE TABLE parquet_tbl (
  ClientCode STRING,
  Encounter STRUCT<Number:STRING, Patient:STRUCT<PatientNumber:STRING,
SSN:STRING>, Payers:ARRAY<STRUCT<Description:STRING, Payer:STRING,
SequenceNumber:STRING>>>,
  JSONUpdateDtm STRING)
ROW FORMAT SERDE 'parquet.hive.serde.ParquetHiveSerDe'
 STORED AS
 INPUTFORMAT 'parquet.hive.DeprecatedParquetInputFormat'
 OUTPUTFORMAT 'parquet.hive.DeprecatedParquetOutputFormat';

INSERT OVERWRITE TABLE parquet_tbl SELECT * from json_tbl;



CREATE TABLE orc_tbl (
  ClientCode STRING,
  Encounter STRUCT<Number:STRING, Patient:STRUCT<PatientNumber:STRING,
SSN:STRING>, Payers:ARRAY<STRUCT<Description:STRING, Payer:STRING,
SequenceNumber:STRING>>>,
  JSONUpdateDtm STRING)
 STORED AS orc;

INSERT OVERWRITE TABLE orc_tbl SELECT * from json_tbl;


I can query these tables when I query two levels deep, but *not three.  Am
I doing something wrong?  Or do these data formats not support deeply
nested queries?*

hive> select clientcode, encounter.Number from parquet_tbl;
OK
DEF     4444-88888
ABC     5555555-9999999

hive> select clientcode, encounter.Number from orc_tbl;
OK
DEF     4444-88888
ABC     5555555-9999999


hive> select clientcode, encounter.Number, encounter.patient.ssn from
orc_tbl;
