HiveQL: Merge array columns
I have a table with columns having arrays, how to write HiveQL to merge the array columns?
| id | colA | colB | colC
+----+------------------+-----------------+------------------
| 1 | ["john", "james"]| ["peter"] | ["sam","peter"]
| 2 | ["jane"] | ["doug"] | ["mary","peter"]
| 3 | ["jan", "james"] | ["peter","mary"]| ["sam","peter"]
Write query to display data like this:
| id | newcol
+----+------------------------------------------------------
| 1 | ["john", "james", "peter", "sam","peter"]
| 2 | ["jane", "doug", "mary","peter"]
| 3 | ["jan", "james", "peter","mary","sam","peter"]
sql hive hiveql

If you would like to create a new string array out of several string arrays, you can use the following (note that you need to check colB and colC for being empty, in order to avoid extra commas):
split (
concat (
concat_ws(',',colA),
if(size(colB)>0, concat(',', concat_ws(',',colB)), '' ),
if(size(colC)>0, concat(',', concat_ws(',',colC)), '' )
),',')

hive> select split(concat_ws(',',array("john", "james"), array('peter'), array("sam","peter")), ",") as a;
OK
["john","james","peter","sam","peter"]
for your case.
select split(concat_ws(',',ColA, ColB, ColC), ",") as a;
does "concat_ws" accept multiple arrays as argument?

Something like that :
Concat or ||
SELECT id, colA||','||colB||','||colC AS newcol FROM myTable
OR
SELECT id, Concat(colA,',',colB,',',colC,) AS newcol FROM myTable
which hive version are you using, for me it saysCONCAT only takes primitive arguments

If you would like to create a new string array out of several string arrays, you can use the following (note that you need to check colB and colC for being empty, in order to avoid extra commas):
split (
concat (
concat_ws(',',colA),
if(size(colB)>0, concat(',', concat_ws(',',colB)), '' ),
if(size(colC)>0, concat(',', concat_ws(',',colC)), '' )
),',')

Something like that :
Concat or ||
SELECT id, colA||','||colB||','||colC AS newcol FROM myTable
OR
SELECT id, Concat(colA,',',colB,',',colC,) AS newcol FROM myTable
which hive version are you using, for me it saysCONCAT only takes primitive arguments
