Hive JDBC complex type objects

According to https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1378 Hive
returns strings for complex types. I couldn’t find anything else on
the subject, has there been any more work done in later versions of
Hive to return actual objects in the JDBC driver? In NiFi we can have
records/results/rows with complex types, but when we translate a Hive
ResultSet into fields, complex types like arrays simply become Strings
when IMO they’d be more useful as actual arrays, for downstream
transformations etc.

Thank you in advance,
Matt
