---------------------

                 Key: HIVE-1505
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1505
             Project: Hadoop Hive
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Serializers/Deserializers
    Affects Versions: 0.5.0
            Reporter: bc Wong


I'd like to work with non-UTF8 data easily.

Suppose I have data in latin1. Currently, doing a "select *" will return the 
upper ascii characters in '\xef\xbf\xbd', which is the replacement character 
'\ufffd' encoded in UTF-8. Would be nice for Hive to understand different 
encodings, or to have a concept of byte string.
