- Hello, I create a table in Hive and I set all the fields in String. However I wanna to transform to other data type using SerDe... But I don't know how to do it... I need to create a class in java to create the SerDe properties (I'm not a programmer)? Can I use some Serde Properties that already exists? Where? In the scipt that creates the Table? Sorry but I'm very confusing about this...
