Is there any way to cast string to map in Impala?

e.g: 

select cast("A:1,B:1,C:1") as map<string, int>

Hi, the complex MAP data type is supported, however it may not be as usable as other simple types. Please see:
https://docs.cloudera.com/runtime/7.2.10/impala-sql-reference/topics/impala-map.html

and

There is a similar "GET_JSON_OBJECT" built-in UDF, which may help you - depending what you need to achieve, please see:
