(Follow up to the thread below...) I have a complex Hive table -- many fields, many nested structs. Hive fails to create the table at all. I can't even start to load data or query the data. Anyone else run into this? It seems to be a showstopper to using Hive for us, which is a shame since everything else about Hive is just what we want.
Any suggestions? Workarounds?

The issue apparently is not just the number of levels of nesting. I just created a Hive table with 20 levels of structs within each other. It created fine. This is more levels than the table that was failing for me. The failing table had many more fields throughout the levels.

Thanks. So is the nesting limit 10 now? Does your 2nd paragraph mean that this limit cannot easily be raised?

There is an open jira ticket on this. There is a hard coded limit but it could be raised with some mostly minor code changes. One of the bigger problems is that hive stores the definition of a column in JDBC "column" and for some databases larger nested structs can case issues.
