Thejas M Nair commented on HIVE-1466:
-------------------------------------
Prasad, can you please add a release note to the jira and create a followup
jira for inclusion in wiki (Lefty or someone else might be able to help with
incorporation in wiki) or update the wiki page itself directly ?
We should try to ensure that all new features get documented. I think the best
way to do that is to ensure that documentation is available before feature is
committed.
> Add NULL DEFINED AS to ROW FORMAT specification

>
> NULL values are passed to transformers as a literal backslash and a literal
> N. NULL values are saved when INSERT OVERWRITing LOCAL DIRECTORies as "NULL".
> This is inconsistent.
> The ROW FORMAT specification of tables should be able to specify the manner
> in which a null character is represented. ROW FORMAT NULL DEFINED AS '\N' or
> '\003' or whatever should apply to all instances of table export and saving.
