Complex DataTypes in Hive

[Ranjitha Chandrashekar <Ra...@hcl.com>]

Hi

How does hive interpret the complex datatpes (my own class) in the sequence file, say i have my own complex datatype (my own class) as the value written in the Sequence File.
How do I make Hive read this, read it as corresponding columns.

For Ex. I have this sequence file writeen as hadoop writable on HDFS with records

100    One, two, buckle my shoe
99      Three, four, shut the door
98      Five, six, pick up sticks

Now in Hive, i create a external table,

1.create external table seqExampleMap (number map<STRING,STRING>) row format delimited fields terminated by ' ' STORED AS SEQUENCEFILE location '/user/hiveFiles/';

How do I say that "One" is the key and "two, buckle my shoe" is the value in the map number created above?

Please suggest

Thanks
Ranjitha.
