Daniel Weeks commented on HIVE-6938: ------------------------------------ Confusion is understandable considering parquet is columnar. How about "column.index.access"? I'll update the patch. > Add Support for Parquet Column Rename > ------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-6938 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-6938 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: File Formats > Affects Versions: 0.13.0 > Reporter: Daniel Weeks > Attachments: HIVE-6938.1.patch > > > Parquet was originally introduced without 'replace columns' support in ql. > In addition, the default behavior for parquet is to access columns by name as > opposed to by index by the Serde. > Parquet should allow for either columnar (index based) access or name based > access because it can support either. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
