["Michael Chirico (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Michael Chirico commented on HIVE-5999:
---------------------------------------

[~nemon] what ever happened to the patch here? This would still be an incredibly useful feature as embedded newlines are of course ubiquitous for day-to-day data tasks. Any free text field is bound to have embedded newlines, given enough observations...

> LINES TERMINATED BY only supports newline '\n' right now.
> It would be nice to loosen this constraint and allow other characters.
> This limitation seems to be hardcoded here:
> https://github.com/apache/hive/blob/trunk/ql/src/java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/ql/parse/BaseSemanticAnalyzer.java#L171
> The DDL Definition on the Hive Language manual shows this as a configurable property whereas it is not. This may lead to mileading assement of being able to choose a choice of field delimiter.
