Hi All,
What is the best approach to convert a JSON to AVRO preserving the source datatypes.
My source JSON has a field with timestamp (value would look like 2017-01-26T00:00:00-05:00) which I need to eventually insert to a hive table with column type timestamp.
When I infer the schema, I get String for the timestamp field. Is there some pre-formatting that I can do on the timestamp field so that it gets inferred as timestamp field.
Current flow is as below -
JSON>>AVRO(infer/manually add schema)>>Streaming Insert to hive
