我正在尝试使用hcatalog json serde（来自hcatalog-core-0.5.0-cdh4.7.0.jar）的配置单元表。我运行的是cdh4（hadoop2.0.0-cdh4.7.0和hive0.10.0-cdh4.7.0）。
表定义：

CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE some_table(
  user_id int COMMENT 'from deserializer',
  event_time int COMMENT 'from deserializer',
  some_string string COMMENT 'from deserializer',
  some_id string COMMENT 'from deserializer',
  another_id int COMMENT 'from deserializer')
PARTITIONED BY (
  year int,
  month int,
  day int)
ROW FORMAT SERDE
  'org.apache.hcatalog.data.JsonSerDe'
STORED AS INPUTFORMAT
  'org.apache.hadoop.mapred.TextInputFormat'
OUTPUTFORMAT
  'org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.io.HiveIgnoreKeyTextOutputFormat'
LOCATION
  'hdfs://localhost:8020/somedir/some_table'
TBLPROPERTIES (
  'last_modified_by'='volker',
  'last_modified_time'='1424980336',
  'transient_lastDdlTime'='1424980952')

创建的分区如下：

alter table some_table add if not exists partition (year=2015,month=02,day=26) location '/somedir/some_table/year=2015/month=02/day=26'

第一次很顺利，我可以在选择所有列时读取数据：

hive> select * from some_table limit 10;
OK
671764813   1424980760  fbx NtiwgY  6   2015    02  26
1632511524  1424980760  fbx AdMybO  10  2015    02  26
1201817175  1424980760  fbx GgQJEd  6   2015    02  26

1256744282  1424980760  fbx GeIFxq  6   2015    02  26
1741961976  1424980760  fbx CiuxZU  8   2015    02  26
2009923690  1424980760  fbx ZmGOvK  2   2015    02  26
1728798342  1424980760  fbx YikDcV  8   2015    02  26
688185292   1424980760  fbx NssSWN  7   2015    02  26

但是，当我尝试在查询失败的任何位置读取或引用特定字段时：

hive> select another_id from some_table limit 10;

在where条件中使用字段时也会发生同样的情况。
我可以在where子句中使用分区字段，所以 select * from some_table where year=2015 很好，但是 select year from some_table limit 10 失败，出现上述错误。
hdfs中的文件如下所示：

{"another_id":6,"user_id":671764813,"some_id":"NtiwgY","event_time":1424980760,"some_string":"fbx"}
{"another_id":10,"user_id":1632511524,"some_id":"AdMybO","event_time":1424980760,"some_string":"fbx"}
{"another_id":6,"user_id":1201817175,"some_id":"GgQJEd","event_time":1424980760,"some_string":"fbx"}

我希望这只是我的表定义的问题。欢迎任何帮助。
