<p>I want to create a hive table based on JSON objects inside "data" JSON array. I want to do this in Java. I dont want to do "select data.id,data.from from temptable". I want to do something similar to to a select * query. It should automatically infer schema from json objects. I came to find explode function in python and scala. </p>
