             Summary: Support Complex Hive Schema's
                 Key: HAWQ-1265
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HAWQ-1265
             Project: Apache HAWQ
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Hcatalog, PXF
            Reporter: Michael Andre Pearce (IG)
            Assignee: Ed Espino


Currently if in hive you have Avro or other formats, where the schema is complex, you cannot currently query the fields in the complex object via hcatalog/pxf integration.

In terms of Avro Schema - records, enums and complex arrays, do not work. 

Hive fully supports this complex/object notation, as does many of the other SQL tools in the Hadoop eco-system (Spark, Impala, Drill).

These all seem to support the same styled solution of using dots for complex object/path negation:

SELECT schema.table.fieldA.nestedRecordFieldS FROM myavrotable;
