So, I'm back to square one. Is there *any* way I can do this using Hive alone? I'm fine with running the data through multiple passes, putting it in temporary tables, if need be. Should I be looking at UDF or SerDe to achieve this? Can this be considered as a feature request? Something like User Defined Tables (UDTs) in Cloudbase?
