Thejas M Nair commented on HIVE-9500: ------------------------------------- [~aihuaxu] Thanks for clarifying that the input is actually in Avro format. What part of query processing is the error happening ? Is it during some internal serialization that LazySimpleSerde is getting used ? If that is the case, maybe we should fix hive to use a better serde there. > Support nested structs over 24 levels. > -------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-9500 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-9500 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Aihua Xu > Labels: SerDe > > Customer has deeply nested avro structure and is receiving the following > error when performing queries. > 15/01/09 20:59:29 ERROR ql.Driver: FAILED: SemanticException > org.apache.hadoop.hive.serde2.SerDeException: Number of levels of nesting > supported for LazySimpleSerde is 23 Unable to work with level 24 > Currently we support up to 24 levels of nested structs when > hive.serialization.extend.nesting.levels is set to true, while the customers > have the requirement to support more than that. > It would be better to make the supported levels configurable or completely > removed (i.e., we can support any number of levels). -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
