Hi, I am working on building a MR job that generates RCFiles that will become partitions of a hive table. I have most of it working however only strings (Text) are being deserialized inside of Hive. The hive table is specified to use a columnarserde which I thought should allow the writable types stored in the RCFile to be deserialized properly.
Currently all numeric types (IntWritable and LongWritable) come back a null. Has anyone else seen anything like this or have any ideas? I would rather not convert all my data to strings to use RCFile. Thanks. Steve
