Loader can't load data to a table with a UDT column

[rs017991]

It would be really great for the loader to support User-defined types.

Note that collections may contain UDTs and UDTs may contain collections/other UDTs, so CQLDelimParser.schemaBits(...) would need to support some level of recursion.

Side note: The skipCols options cannot be used to skip over a column with a non-supported type because parsers are eagerly built.

Skip columns would work if you quoted the UDT, or if the UDT did not have embedded delimiters.

Indeed it would be great to have support to UDTs

The tool is great. I really loved it. Is there any solution to UDT types other than skiping the columns? My data have sets and collections and the unloader tool gives the error below:

Exception in thread "main" java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: java.text.ParseException: Set data type not recognized (udt)

There is a udt branch you could try. I think that got pretty solid, but I haven't been working on this in a while.

This utility support UDTs?

Check out the "udt" branch.
