Hive load CSV with commas in quoted fields

Question

I am trying to load a CSV file into a Hive table like so:

CREATE TABLE mytable
(
num1 INT,
text1 STRING,
num2 INT,
text2 STRING
)
ROW FORMAT DELIMITED FIELDS         


        

Answer 1

ORG.APACHE.HADOOP.HIVE.SERDE2.OPENCSVSERDE Serde worked for me. My delimiter was '|' and one of the columns is enclosed in double quotes.

Query:

CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE EMAIL(MESSAGE_ID STRING, TEXT STRING, TO_ADDRS STRING, FROM_ADDRS STRING, SUBJECT STRING, DATE STRING)
ROW FORMAT SERDE 'ORG.APACHE.HADOOP.HIVE.SERDE2.OPENCSVSERDE'
WITH SERDEPROPERTIES (
     "SEPARATORCHAR" = "|",
     "QUOTECHAR"     = "\"",
     "ESCAPECHAR"    = "\""
)    
STORED AS TEXTFILE location '/user/abc/csv_folder';
