             Summary: Beeline query for special character like £ does not give back result
                 Key: HIVE-22177
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-22177
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Beeline
    Affects Versions: 1.1.0
         Environment: Cloudera 5.15.1 Hive 1.1.0

beeline and Impala
            Reporter: Sanjay Mishra


I have a table in hive with a column having special character like £. When I try to a query as simple as 'SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE COL = "£"; ', the query does not come back with any result. 

The table data is UTF-8 encoded. The sql file that contains the above sql and run via beeline is also UTF-8 encoded.

Interestingly, if I try to create the run the same query using impala against the same table, I get back the columns containing the £ symbol.

Also when the data from the table is exported (SELECT * FROM THE TABLE and save the output to csv file) the column with special character is shown as NULL.

 

Steps to replicate:
 # create test.sql file with the below content: 
 # 
{code:java}
 CREATE TABLE T1 (test String);
INSERT INTO T1 VALUES('£');
{code}

 # beeline>!run test.sql
 # create another file test_select.sql with the below content:
 # 
{code:java}
SELECT * FROM T1 WHERE test='£';{code}

 # beeline>!run test_select.sql
 # No results will be returned back
