Teradata can use TPT(Teradata Parallel Transporter) or BTEQ(Basic Teradata Query) to generate the data file. The Teradata Binary data file, however, uses specific encoding method and cannot export and import data files compressed by gzip in very high speed. However such binary files are encoded in Teradata’s proprietary format and can’t be directly consumed by Hive if there is no without a customized SerDe.
The TeradataBinarySerde allows enables users to read or write Teradata binary data as Hive Tables which can:
Directly consume the Teradata Binary data file
generatedwhich is exported by TPT/BTEQ and then registered in Hive
- Directly generate Generate the Teradata Binary data file that can be directly loaded by TPT in Hive and directly load it via TPT/BTEQ into Teradata
How to export
The TeradataBinarySerde supports data files in 'Formatted' or 'Formatted4' mode with the restrictions
