Feng Peng created HCATALOG-474:
----------------------------------
Summary: HCatalog should allow coversions for non-primitive map
keys
Key: HCATALOG-474
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HCATALOG-474
Project: HCatalog
Issue Type: Bug
Components: pig
Affects Versions: 0.4
Reporter: Feng Peng
HCatalog assumes map keys are primitive types. When the underlying data allows
complex struct to be map keys, such as Thrift, HCatalog should provide an
option to allow users to auto-convert the keys to strings. The default behavior
is still rejecting the data, but the option to convert should be provided.
