Hi Ravi, Not all of the types are fully-implemented yet. I think Hive only has partial support. If I remember correctly: * Decimal is supported if the backing primitive type is fixed-length binary * Date and Timestamp are supported, but Time has not been implemented yet
For object models you can build applications on (instead of those embedded in SQL), only Avro objects can support those types through its LogicalTypes API. That API has been implemented in parquet-avro, but not yet committed. I would like for this feature to make it into 1.9.0. If you want to test in the mean time, check out the pull request: https://github.com/apache/parquet-mr/pull/318 rb On Wed, Mar 9, 2016 at 5:09 AM, Ravi Tatapudi <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello, > > I am Ravi Tatapudi, from IBM-India.
