Zoltan Ivanfi created HIVE-14846: ------------------------------------ Summary: Char encoding does not apply to newline chars Key: HIVE-14846 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-14846 Project: Hive Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 1.1.0 Reporter: Zoltan Ivanfi Priority: Minor
I created and populated a table with utf-16 encoding: hive> create external table utf16 (col1 timestamp, col2 string) row format delimited fields terminated by "," location '/tmp/utf16'; hive> alter table utf16 set serdeproperties ('serialization.encoding'='UTF-16'); hive> insert into utf16 values('2010-01-01 00:00:00.000', 'hőség'); Then I checked the contents of the file: $ hadoop fs -cat /tmp/utf16/000000_0 | hd 00000000 fe ff 00 32 00 30 00 31 00 30 00 2d 00 30 00 31 |...2.0.1.0.-.0.1| 00000010 00 2d 00 30 00 34 00 20 00 30 00 30 00 3a 00 30 |.-.0.4. .0.0.:.0| 00000020 00 30 00 3a 00 30 00 30 00 2c 00 63 00 69 00 70 |.0.:.0.0.,.c.i.p| 00000030 01 51 0a |.Q.| 00000033 The newline character is represented as 0a instead of the expected 00 0a. If I do it the other way around and put correct UTF-16 files into HDFS and try to query them from Hive, I get unknown unicode chars in the output: hive> select * from utf16; 2010-01-01 00:00:00 hőség� 2010-01-02 00:00:00 város� 2010-01-03 00:00:00 füzet� -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
