Processing XML data in Hive using XML SerDe


XML has been one of the most important data structures and has been used for quite a long time for data transfers and storage. Parsing XML data and then processing it is always a tricky task as parsing XML is one of the most costliest operations. Hive does not have any built-in support for XML data processing, but many organizations and individuals have made open source contributions to XML SerDe.

Getting ready

To perform this recipe, you should have a running Hadoop cluster as well as the latest version of Hive installed on it. Here, I am using Hive 1.2.1. Apart from Hive, we also need XML SerDe.

There are various XML SerDe that have been made available by open source developers. Out of these, XML SerDe at https://github.com/dvasilen/Hive-XML-SerDe is well developed and quite useful. So, we can download the jar from http://search.maven.org/remotecontent?filepath=com/ibm/spss/hive/serde2/xml/hivexmlserde/1.0.5.3/hivexmlserde-1.0.5.3.jar.
