INSERT non-static data to array?

[Michael Malak]

Is the only way to INSERT data into a column of type array<> to load data from 
a pre-existing file, to use hard-coded values in the INSERT statement, or copy 
an entire array verbatim from another table?  I.e. I'm assuming that a) SQL1999 
array INSERT via subquery is not (yet) implemented in Hive, and b) there is 
also no other way to load dynamically generated data into an array<> column?  
If my assumption in a) is true, does a Jira item need to be created for it?
