------------------------------------
Summary: Beeline query for special character like £ does not give
back result
Key: HIVE-22177
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-22177
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Beeline
Affects Versions: 1.1.0
Environment: Cloudera 5.15.1 Hive 1.1.0
beeline and Impala
Reporter: Sanjay Mishra
I have a table in hive with a column having special character like £. When I
try to a query as simple as 'SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE COL = "£"; ', the query
does not come back with any result.
The table data is UTF-8 encoded. The sql file that contains the above sql and
run via beeline is also UTF-8 encoded.
Interestingly, if I try to create the run the same query using impala against
the same table, I get back the columns containing the £ symbol.
Also when the data from the table is exported (SELECT * FROM THE TABLE and save
the output to csv file) the column with special character is shown as NULL.
Steps to replicate:
# create test.sql file with the below content:
#
{code:java}
CREATE TABLE T1 (test String);
INSERT INTO T1 VALUES('£');
{code}
# beeline>!run test.sql
# create another file test_select.sql with the below content:
#
{code:java}
SELECT * FROM T1 WHERE test='£';{code}
# beeline>!run test_select.sql
# No results will be returned back
