AWS Glue issue with double quote and commas

Question

I have this CSV file:

reference,address
V7T452F4H9,"12410 W 62TH ST, AA D"

The following options are being used in the table definition

ROW FORMAT SERDE 
  'org.apache.hadoop.hive.serde2.OpenCSVSerde' 
WITH SERDEPROPERTIES ( 
  'quoteChar'='\"', 
  'separatorChar'=',') 

but it still won't recognize the double quotes in the data, and that comma in the double quote fiel is messing up the data. When I run the Athena query, the result looks like this

reference     address
V7T452F4H9    "12410 W 62TH ST

How do I fix this issue?

Answer 1

Look like you also need to add escapeChar. AWS Athena docs shows this example:

CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE myopencsvtable (
   col1 string,
   col2 string,
   col3 string,
   col4 string
)
ROW FORMAT SERDE 
'org.apache.hadoop.hive.serde2.OpenCSVSerde'
WITH SERDEPROPERTIES (
   'separatorChar' = ',',
   'quoteChar' = '\"',
   'escapeChar' = '\\'
   )
STORED AS TEXTFILE
