The CSVSerde is available in Hive 0.14 and greater. |
Background
The CSV Serde SerDe is based from on https://github.com/ogrodnek/csv-serde, and was added to the Hive distribution in HIVE-7777.
Note | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
This SerDe treats all columns to be of type String. Even if you create a table with non-string column types using this SerDe, the DESCRIBE TABLE output would show string column type. The type information is retrieved from the SerDe. To convert columns to the desired type in a table, you can create a view over the table that does the CAST to the desired type. |
Usage
This Serde SerDe works for most CSV data, but does not handled handle embedded newlines. To use the SerdeSerDe, specify the fully qualified class name org.apache.hadoop.hive.serde2.OpenCSVSerde.
Documentation is based on original documentation at https://github.com/ogrodnek/csv-serde.
