Hive support for filtering Unicode data

[Duc le anh <an...@gmail.com>]

Hello Hive,

I posted the below question
<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24817308/hive-support-for-filtering-unicode-data?noredirect=1#comment38534961_24817308>
on Stackoverflow
<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24817308/hive-support-for-filtering-unicode-data?noredirect=1#comment38534961_24817308>,
but decided to ask the same one here:

I have a Hive table with Unicode data. When trying to perform a simple
query "SELECT * FROM table," I get back the correct data in correct Unicode
encoding. However, when I tried to add filtering criteria such as "...
WHERE column = 'some unicode value'," my query returned nothing.

Is it Hive's limitation? Or is there anyway to make Unicode filtering work
with Hive?

Thank you!
