Description

I have a hive table that has a STRUCT data column.
hive> select c15 from alltypes;
OK
NULL

{"r":null,"s":null}

{"r":1,"s":{"a":2,"b":"x"}}

From drill:
select c15 from alltypes;
Error: SYSTEM ERROR: IndexOutOfBoundsException: index (1) must be less than size (1)

Since drill currently does not support hive struct data type, drill should display user friendly error that hive struct data type is not supported.
