Ashutosh Chauhan updated HIVE-2380: ----------------------------------- Attachment: hive-2380_3.patch Attaching new patch which addresses John's two concerns. Added order-by in union query and for bq. But regarding "10111111", I don't think we should have any corner cases at all in the set of binary strings which can be stored. That would just be a land mine. Can you think of a solution? Instead of special casing for the case of serializing zero length binary throwing an exception. With that, if there ever is a case when user tries to serialize a 0-length binary through BinaryColumnarSerde, we will throw an exception. Now, there is no need of special casing in LazyBinaryColumnarSerde and LazyBinaryColumnarSerde, so rolled back changes in those. Also, added a unit test case testLazyBinaryColumnarSerdeWithEmpyBinary()to exercise this code path. > Add Binary Datatype in Hive > --------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-2380 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2380 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Serializers/Deserializers > Reporter: Ashutosh Chauhan > Assignee: Ashutosh Chauhan > Attachments: hive-2380.patch, hive-2380_1.patch, hive-2380_2.patch, > hive-2380_3.patch > > > Add bytearray as a primitive data type. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
