This is a tool to convert a nested dataset to an unnested dataset. The source and/or destination can be the local file system or HDFS. Structs get converted to a column (with a long name). Arrays and Maps get converted to a table which can be joined with the parent table on id column. $ mvn exec:java \ -Dexec.mainClass=org.apache.impala.infra.tableflattener.Main \ -Dexec.arguments="file:///tmp/in.parquet,file:///tmp/out,-sfile:///tmp/in.avsc" $ mvn exec:java \ -Dexec.mainClass=org.apache.impala.infra.tableflattener.Main \ -Dexec.arguments="hdfs://localhost:20500/nested.avro,file://$PWD/unnested" There are various options to specify the type of input file but the output is always parquet/snappy. For additional help, use the following command: $ mvn exec:java \ -Dexec.mainClass=org.apache.impala.infra.tableflattener.Main -Dexec.arguments="--help" This is used by testdata/bin/generate-load-nested.sh.
