Description

Hi,
I am using Hive 10. When I create an external table with column type as Binary, the query result on the table is showing some junk values for the column with binary datatype.

Please find below the query I have used to create the table:

CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE BOOL1(NB BOOLEAN,email STRING, bitfld BINARY)
ROW FORMAT DELIMITED
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '^'
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'
STORED AS TEXTFILE
LOCATION '/user/hivetables/testbinary';

The query I have used is : select * from bool1

The sample data in the hdfs file is:

0^[e-mail]^001
1^[e-mail]^010
^[e-mail]^011
^[e-mail]^100
t^[e-mail]^101
f^[e-mail]^110
true^[e-mail]^111
false^[e-mail]^001
123^ ^01100010
12344^ ^01100001

Please share your inputs if it is possible.

Thanks,
Arun
