Hive equivalent to Spark Vector on table creation

I have a Spark DataFrame with one of the columns as Vector type. When I create a hive table on top of it, I don't know which type it is equivalent to

CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE mix (
        topicdist ARRAY<DOUBLE>
    )
STORED AS PARQUET
LOCATION 's3://path/to/file.parquet'

The table creation seems to work and return OK, but when I try

select topicdist from mix limit 1

The error I get:

Failed with exception java.io.IOException:java.lang.RuntimeException: Unknown hive type info array<double> when searching for field type
