I got two hive tables external to two HTables. Because one of HTable has sparse columns, I have to use Map as the datatype in Hive for that table. I'd like to know how to join two tables.
Here is my sample: CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE RECORD(RecordID string, BatchDate string, Country string) STORED BY 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.hbase.HBaseStorageHandler' WITH SERDEPROPERTIES ("hbase.columns.mapping" = ":key,D:BatchDate,D:Country") TBLPROPERTIES ("hbase.table.name" = "RECORD"); CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE KEY_RECORD(KeyValue String, RecordId map<string,string>) STORED BY 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.hbase.HBaseStorageHandler' WITH SERDEPROPERTIES ("hbase.columns.mapping" = ":key, K:") TBLPROPERTIES ("hbase.table.name" = "KEY_RECORD"); The following join statement doesn't work. select a.*, b.* from KEY_RECORD a join RECORD b on a.RecordId[b.RecordID] is not null; Thx!
