Hi Steve, I do see that it applies to hive 0.5. But I am facing a similar issue where my column of complex type is not able to hold a nested struct beyond a certain size(around 4000). I guessed 4000 still might be the followed size. Could it be a restriction imposed on the serde(which I doubt)? I use the json serde : https://github.com/rcongiu/Hive-JSON-Serde/tree/master
