Support BLOB data type ---------------------- Key: HIVE-1706 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1706 Project: Hadoop Hive Issue Type: Improvement Components: Serializers/Deserializers Affects Versions: 0.7.0 Reporter: Ted Yu
Quite often, we want to import blob data type from mysql/SQL Server to Hive. Currently we either have to store BLOB data in HBase or pass the data as base64 encoded string. Neither of which is efficient. We should support byte array as native data type. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
