I ended up getting an error (Hive 0.7.1), but I would have thought
something like the following would work:
SELECT
user_id,
obj_key,
obj[obj_key] AS obj_item
FROM (
SELECT
"user1" user_id,
MAP("k1", "v1", "k2", "v2") obj
FROM calendar
LIMIT 1
) tmp
LATERAL VIEW EXPLODE(MAP_KEYS(obj)) obj_tbl AS obj_key;
There error that I get for this is: FAILED: Error in semantic analysis:
Line 3:4 Non-constant expression for map indexes not supported obj_key
