Create Hive tables with headers and load quoted CSV data

Hue makes it easy to create Hive tables.

With HUE-1746, Hue guesses the columns names and types (int, string, float…) directly by looking at your data. If your data starts with a header, this one will automatically be used and skipped while creating the table.

Quoted CSV fields are also compatible thanks to HUE-1747.

Here is the data file used:

http://www.fdic.gov/bank/individual/failed/banklist.html

 

This is the SerDe for reading quoted CSV:

And the command to switch the SerDe used by the table:

ALTER TABLE banks SET SERDE 'com.bizo.hive.serde.csv.CSVSerde'

Now go analyze the data with the Hive, Impala or Pig editors!
