title: Entry delimiter of JSON files for Hive table
body: <p>We are collecting JSON data (public social media posts in particular) via REST API invocations, which we plan to dump into HDFS, then abstract a Hive table on top it using SerDe. I wonder though what would be the appropriate delimiter per JSON entry in a file? Is it new line ("\n")? So it would look like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>{ id: entry1 ... post: }
  { id: entry2 ... post: }
  ...
  { id: entryn ... post: }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How about if we encounter a new line character within the JSON data itself, for example in <code>post</code>?</p>
