hive提供了复合数据类型：
Structs： structs内部的数据可以通过DOT（.）来存取，例如，表中一列c的类型为STRUCT{a INT; b INT}，我们可以通过c.a来访问域a
Maps（K-V对）：访问指定域可以通过[“指定域名称”]进行，例如，一个Map M包含了一个group-》gid的kv对，gid的值可以通过M[‘group’]来获取
Arrays：array中的数据为相同类型，例如，假如array A中元素[‘a’,’b’,’c’]，则A[1]的值为’b’

Struct使用
建表：

create table student_test(id INT, info struct<name:STRING, age:INT>) 
ROW FORMAT DELIMITED FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' 
COLLECTION ITEMS TERMINATED BY ':';
OK
Time taken: 0.446 seconds
'FIELDS TERMINATED BY' ：字段与字段之间的分隔符
''COLLECTION ITEMS TERMINATED BY' ：一个字段各个item的分隔符
