Rui Li updated HIVE-5871:
-------------------------

    Attachment: HIVE-5871.patch

This implementation mainly relies on LazySimpleSerDe for serialization and 
deserialization. I added some methods to LazyStruct to parse a row delimited by 
multiple-character string. Another difference from LazySimpleSerDe is that 
MultiDelimitSerDe doesn't use Base64 to encode binary fields in serialization. 
Because the encoded string may interfere with the delimiter. I also modified 
LazyBinary, so that when it deserializes a binary field and is  unable to 
Base64 decode the field, it just keeps the data unchanged. A simple use case is 
as follow:

create table test (id string,hivearray array<binary>,hivemap map<string,int>) 
ROW FORMAT SERDE 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.contrib.serde2.MultiDelimitSerDe' WITH 
SERDEPROPERTIES 
("field.delimited"="[,]","collection.delimited"=":","mapkey.delimited"="@");

where field.delimited is the multiple-char field delimiter. 
collection.delimited is the delimiter for collection items. mapkey.delimited is 
the delimiter for  keys and values in maps. We currently don't support 
multiple-char for these two delimiters.

> Use multiple-characters as field delimiter
