Hive Explode / Lateral View multiple arrays

Question

I have a hive table with the following schema:

1234123   [1,2,3]    [r,t,null]  [2,1,null]

How

Answer 1

I found a very good solution to this problem without using any UDF, posexplode is a very good solution :

SELECT COOKIE ,
ePRODUCT_ID,
eCAT_ID,
eQTY
FROM TABLE 
LATERAL VIEW posexplode(PRODUCT_ID) ePRODUCT_IDAS seqp, ePRODUCT_ID
LATERAL VIEW posexplode(CAT_ID) eCAT_ID AS seqc, eCAT_ID
LATERAL VIEW posexplode(QTY) eQTY AS seqq, eDateReported
WHERE seqp = seqc AND seqc = seqq;
