I am looking for a regex that can be fed to a "create external table" statement of Hive QL in the form of
"input.regex"="the regex goes here"
The condition is that the logs in the files that the RegexSerDe must be reading are of the following form:
2013-02-12 12:03:22,323 [DEBUG] 2636hd3e-432g-dfg3-dwq3-y4dsfq3ew91b Some message that can contain any special character, including linebreaks. This one does not have a linebreak. It just has spaces on the same line.
2013-02-12 12:03:24,527 [DEBUG] 265y7d3e-432g-dfg3-dwq3-y4dsfq3ew91b Some other message that can contain any special character, including linebreaks. This one does not have one either. It just has spaces on the same line.
2013-02-12 12:03:24,946 [ERROR] 261rtd3e-432g-dfg3-dwq3-y4dsfq3ew91b Some message that can contain any special character, including linebreaks.
This is a special one.
This has a message that is multi-lined.
This is line number 4 of the same log.
Line 5.
2013-02-12 12:03:24,988 [INFO] 2632323e-432g-dfg3-dwq3-y4dsfq3ew91b Another 1-line log
2013-02-12 12:03:25,121 [DEBUG] 263tgd3e-432g-dfg3-dwq3-y4dsfq3ew91b Yet another one line log.
I am using the following create external table code:
CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE applogs (logdatetime STRING, logtype STRING, requestid STRING, verbosedata STRING)
ROW FORMAT SERDE 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.contrib.serde2.RegexSerDe'
WITH SERDEPROPERTIES
(
"input.regex" = "(\\A[[0-9:-] ]{19},[0-9]{3}) (\\[[A-Z]*\\]) ([0-9a-z-]*) (.*)?(?=(?:\\A[[0-9:-] ]{19},[0-9]|\\z))",
"output.format.string" = "%1$s \\[%2$s\\] %3$s %4$s"
)
STORED AS TEXTFILE
LOCATION 'hdfs:///logs-application';
Here's the thing:
It is able to pull all the FIRST LINES of each log. But not the other lines of logs that have more than one lines. I tried all links, replaced \z with \Z at the end, replaced \A with
