Table ddl: CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE tmp.la_ocs_edr ( SPEND_STRUCT map<string,array<map<string,string>>> ) ROW FORMAT SERDE 'org.apache.hive.hcatalog.data.JsonSerDe' LOCATION '/tmp/vm'; Json file structure: {"SPEND_STRUCT": \{"def":[{"COSTS":"0","BALANCE_TYPES":"128","BALANCES":"22"}]}} \{"SPEND_STRUCT": {"def":[{"COSTS":"0","BALANCE_TYPES":"478","BALANCES":"25"}]}} A select query fails with: hive> select * from json_example; OK Failed with exception java.io.IOException:org.apache.hadoop.hive.serde2.SerDeException: java.io.IOException: Start of Array expected Same result from beeline. Strangely, inserting into the table as follows works and the JSON file is populated properly: hive> insert into json_example select map("def",array(map("COSTS","0","BALANCE_TYPES","128","BALANCES","22"))) from t1; then hive> !sh hdfs dfs -cat /user/hive/warehouse/test.db/json_example/*; {"spend_struct":\{"def":[{"BALANCE_TYPES":"128","BALANCES":"22","COSTS":"0"}]}} -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.14#76016)
