How to aggregate several columns into a JSON file in HIVE and avoid nulls












1














user_id reservation_id  nights  price 
--------------------------------------
AAA 10001 1 100
AAA 10002 1 120
BBB 20003 7 350
ccc 10005 150
DDD 10007 3
CCC 10006 5


to



user_id    reservation_details
AAA [{"nights":"1", "price":"100"}, {"nights":"1","price":"120"}]
BBB [{"nights":"7", "price":"350"}]
CCC [{"price":"150"}, {"nights":"3"}]
DDD [{"nights":"5"}]


Here my query is



select user_id
,concat("
{",concat_ws(',',collect_list(concat(string(reservation_id),":

{'nights':",string(nights),",'price':",string(price),"}"))),"}") as
reservation_details
from mytable
group by user_id


I want to eliminate the columns which have value as nulls and convert that single quotes into double quotes which looks like a exact JSON.

          • all my hive columns dataypes are string only. Also i need in JSON format. If i have 10 more cloumns and need to check each column whether it is null or not? IS there any dyamic way of checking nulls instead of hardcoding. I know in Java we can achive thru UDF. but want to know in HIVE.
