I had used the following sqoop command to import db2 data which is defined as BLOB into Hive in ORC format.   sqoop import \--connect "jdbc:db2://******/DB22" --username ***** --password '******' \--table temp --map-column-hive row_id=String,binary_id=Binary --map-column-java row_id=String  -m 1 --hcatalog-database temp_database --hcatalog-table temp_table --create-hcatalog-table --hcatalog-storage-stanza "stored as orcfile" 1) Table is created in Hive (one column is having binary data,rest of the columns are in STRING format) and when I do , select count(*) from temp_table; --I am able to get the count When I select without that one Binary column also ,I am able to pull the result. But, 2) When I try to select something (including Binary column) from that table like below , select * from temp_table limit 1; I am getting below error: Error: java.io.IOException: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException** at org.apache.hadoop.hive.io.HiveIOExceptionHandlerChain.handleRecordReaderCreationException(HiveIOExceptionHandlerChain.java:97) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.io.HiveIOExceptionHandlerUtil.handleRecordReaderCreationException(HiveIOExceptionHandlerUtil.java:57) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.shims.HadoopShimsSecure$CombineFileRecordReader.initNextRecordReader(HadoopShimsSecure.java:266) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.shims.HadoopShimsSecure$CombineFileRecordReader.<init>(HadoopShimsSecure.java:213) Caused by: java.lang.NegativeArraySizeException** at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.io.orc.RecordReaderUtils.readDiskRanges(RecordReaderUtils.java:271) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.io.orc.RecordReaderImpl.readPartialDataStreams(RecordReaderImpl.java:991) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.io.orc.RecordReaderImpl.readStripe(RecordReaderImpl.java:819) at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.io.orc.RecordReaderImpl.advanceStripe(RecordReaderImpl.java:1013)    Could someone help me to resolve this issue? ...
