BELUGA BEHR created HIVE-18785: ---------------------------------- Summary: Make JSON Serde First-Class Serde Key: HIVE-18785 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-18785 Project: Hive Issue Type: New Feature Components: Serializers/Deserializers Affects Versions: 3.0.0 Reporter: BELUGA BEHR
According to the [Hive SerDe Docs|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/LanguageManual+DDL#LanguageManualDDL-RowFormats&SerDe], there are some extra steps involved in getting the JSON SerDe to work: {quote} ROW FORMAT SERDE 'org.apache.hive.hcatalog.data.JsonSerDe' STORED AS TEXTFILE In some distributions, a reference to hive-hcatalog-core.jar is required. ADD JAR /usr/lib/hive-hcatalog/lib/hive-hcatalog-core.jar; {quote} I would like to propose that we move this SerDe into first-class status: {{STORED AS JSONFILE}} The user should have to perform no additional steps to use this SerDe. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
