What Are the Special Characters Not Supported by Hive in Complex Field Names?

Question

If the name of a Hive complex field contains special characters, the table fails to be created.

Answer

Hive does not support special characters in complex field names.

Special characters are characters other than uppercase letters and lowercase letters, digits, Chinese characters, and Portuguese characters.

These special characters are not allowed when you create fields.
