hue hive 转mysql null_解决hue/hiveserver2对于hive date类型显示为NULL的问题

用户报在Hue中执行一条sql：select admission_date, discharge_date,birth_date from hm_004_20170309141149.inpatient_visit limit 20; 返回的结果中date类型的列全部显示为null，可是在hive客户端中能正常显示。

验证一下：beeline -u jdbc:hive2://0.0.0.0:10000 -e "select admission_date, discharge_date,birth_date from hm_004_20170309141149.inpatient_visit limit 20;"

怀疑是hiveserver2的问题，可查询另一个包含date的表，却显示正常：select part_dt from default.kylin_sales limit 50;

于是怀疑是serde的问题，hm_004_20170309141149.inpatient_visit用的是org.openx.data.jsonserde.JsonSerDe，default.kylin_sales用的是TextInputFormat.

官方自带的是org.apache.hive.hcatalog.data.JsonSerDe(https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/SerDe), 位于$HIVE_HOME/hcatalog/share/hcatalog/hive-hcatalog-core-1.2.1.jar，

用此jar测试：

CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE `default.inpatient_visit`(

`age_m`int COMMENT 'from deserializer',

`discharge_date` date COMMENT'from deserializer',

`address_code` string COMMENT'from deserializer',

`admission_date` date COMMENT'from deserializer',

`visit_dept_name` string COMMENT'from deserializer',

`birth_date` date COMMENT'from deserializer',

`outcome` string COMMENT'from deserializer',

`age`int COMMENT 'from deserializer')

ROW FORMAT SERDE'org.apache.hive.hcatalog.data.JsonSerDe'STOREDASINPUTFORMAT'org.apache.hadoop.mapred.TextInputFormat'OUTPUTFORMAT'org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.io.HiveIgnoreKeyTextOutputFormat'LOCATION'hdfs://xxxx/user/hive/warehouse/xx.db/inpatient_visit';

本地测试beeline -u jdbc:hive2://0.0.0.0:10000 -e "add jar /home/work/hive/hcatalog/share/hcatalog/hive-hcatalog-core-1.2.1.jar;select admission_date, discharge_date,birth_date from default.inpatient_visit limit 20;"

在Hue中测试：

【测试系统自带JsonSerDe是否功能一样】

CREATE TABLEjson_nested_test (countstring,

usage string,

pkg map,

languages array,

store map>>)

ROW FORMAT SERDE'org.apache.hive.hcatalog.data.JsonSerDe'STOREDAS TEXTFILE;

遇到个报错：

经过多轮测试(具体测试过程见：http://www.cnblogs.com/aprilrain/p/6916359.html)，发现这个SerDe对于复杂些的嵌套会报此错，例如map>

CREATE TABLEs6 (

store map>)

ROW FORMAT SERDE'org.apache.hive.hcatalog.data.JsonSerDe'STOREDASTEXTFILE;load data local inpath '/home/work/s6.txt' overwrite into tables6;select * froms6;

6s.txt的内容

{"store":{"fruit":["weight","8","type","apple"]}}

{"store":{"fruit":["weight","9","type","orange"]}}

org.openx.data.jsonserde.JsonSerDe 不支持空行的例子：

CREATE TABLEjson_nested_test_openx (countstring,

usage string,

pkg map,

languages array,

store map>>)

ROW FORMAT SERDE'org.openx.data.jsonserde.JsonSerDe'STOREDAS TEXTFILE;

hive> select pkg['weight'],languages[0],store['fruit'][0]['type'] fromjson_nested_test_openx;

OK

Failedwith exception java.io.IOException:org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.metadata.HiveException: Error evaluating store['fruit'][0]['type']

解决：以上错误是由于数据文件的最后一行多了一个空行，去掉空行即可解决。
