Edward Capriolo commented on HIVE-1505:
---------------------------------------

 Maybe you should fork hive and call it chive. 

On a serious node . Great job. Would you consider editing the cli.xml in the xdocs to explain this feature? I think it would be very helpful look in docs/xdocs/.

> Suppose I have data in latin1. Currently, doing a "select *" will return the upper ascii characters in '\xef\xbf\xbd', which is the replacement character '\ufffd' encoded in UTF-8. Would be nice for Hive to understand different encodings, or to have a concept of byte string.
