Reading json data from ES to HIVE with a single string field

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

Is it possible to get the complete json from es using the following table structure. I am able to get the data when I define the schema for json data in hive table. But when I use a single field to get the json string I am getting NULL as output. I am able to use the same structure to write json data to ES.

CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE es_test (data STRING)
STORED BY 'org.elasticsearch.hadoop.hive.EsStorageHandler'
TBLPROPERTIES('es.resource' = 'esindex/test',
'es.input.json' = 'yes','es.nodes' = 'host1:9200' ,'es.query' = '?q=*');

I would recommends to use JSON tools such as http://codebeautify.org/jsonviewer and http://jsonformatter.org to debug , View and validate JSON data.

It is a valid json. I am not sure if it is related to having a keyword like name , start as keys in the json string. Also I have fields with Capital letters in the field name like -> englishName. I am able to pull some of the fields from the beginning of the json when I give all the fields in my hive table.

If you are trying to return the docs from ES in JSON format, that is not supported. It shouldn't be hard to use though.
Your table configuration is confusing though - you define both an input (es.input.json) and a query (basically reading from it).
It's recommended to split the two - you'll end up with two different table that point out to the same index sure, but a table with an associated query means the data is filtered.

P.S. Defining a query that returns everything it's not just redundant, it's useless.
