[jira] [Created] (HIVE-11996) CLONE - Allow other characters for LINES TERMINATED BY

Sameer Gupta created HIVE-11996:
-----------------------------------

             Summary: CLONE - Allow other characters for LINES TERMINATED BY 
                 Key: HIVE-11996
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-11996
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Beeline, Database/Schema, Hive
    Affects Versions: 0.12.0
            Reporter: Sameer Gupta
            Assignee: Ashutosh Chauhan
            Priority: Critical


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.
