Hive Avro to Parquet table conversion

Hi.
I have following avro schema

```Java
{
"namespace" : "com.example.test",
"type" : "record",
"name" : "TestRecord",
"fields" : [{"name" : "objectLink", "type" : [
{"type": "record", "name" : "TestObj1", "fields" : [{"name":"obj1VisitorId","type":["null","string"]}] },
{"type": "record", "name" : "TestObj2", "fields" : [{"name":"obj2VisitorId","type":["null","string"]}]}
]
}],
"doc" : "event for test purposes"
}
```

Using this schema I can create avro objects, also I'm able to create table backed by avro in Hive. But then I want to create a table backed by parquet I'm doing

CREATE TABLE parquet_table
STORED AS parquet
AS SELECT \* FROM avro_table

and i get
SemanticException java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Unknown field type: uniontype,struct>

Is there a way to convert such structures, to store them in hive backed as parquet? This is a simple example, but I have big data structure described in avro, so I can't convert it manually, and also I have data which already stored in avro and need to be loaded in table, backed by parquet. Is there any way to this?

I'm using hive 0.13.

Leggi la documentazione di migrazione indicata e riproduci la query Hive 0.13 CREATE TABLE parquet_table STORED AS parquet AS SELECT * FROM avro_table utilizzando lo schema union annidato. Usa l'errore segnalato Unknown field type: uniontype come punto di partenza; il lavoro sarà completato quando esisterà un percorso documentato o implementato per convertire questa struttura in Parquet.
