Table forced to only STRING data types #22

Hi I'm new to Hive so apologies if this is an ignorant question. I'm creating a table with csv-serde but it forces all my columns to STRING data type even though I specify BIGINT, FLOAT and ARRAY in several. Is there a way around this, to maintain my inputted data types?

Thanks, Stephen

Indeed that's still a problem in 2018. Any way to only quote string columns ?

Thanks
