Hi,
I've an external table backed by an avro schema containing a union type
field.
"type" : [ "int", "string", "null" ]
When describing the table I've:
describe test_table;
+-------------------+---------------------------------------------------------------+----------+--+
| col_name |
data_type | comment |
+-------------------+---------------------------------------------------------------+----------+--+
| description |
string | |
| name |
string | |
| value |
uniontype<int,string,void> | |
+-------------------+---------------------------------------------------------------+----------+--+
When doing a select query over the data using the Hive CLI, it works:
hive> select value from test_table;
OK
{0:10}
{0:10}
{0:9}
{0:9}
...
But when using beeline, it fails:
0: jdbc:hive2://....> select * from test_table;
Error: Unrecognized column type: UNIONTYPE (state=,code=0)
Is it a known issue? Is there a workaround for that (I have to use a JDBC
connection)?
Versions:
Hive 1.2.1000.2.6.1.0-129
Beeline version 1.2.1000.2.6.1.0-129 by Apache Hive
Thanks!
Pierre
