Johndee Burks created HIVE-20020: ------------------------------------ Summary: Hive contrib jar should not be in lib Key: HIVE-20020 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-20020 Project: Hive Issue Type: Improvement Components: Contrib Reporter: Johndee Burks
Currently the way hive is packaged it includes hive-contrib-<version>.jar in lib, we should not include it here because it is picked up by services like HS2. This creates a situation in which experimental features such as the [*MultiDelimitSerDe|[https://github.com/apache/hive/blob/master/contrib/src/java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/contrib/serde2/MultiDelimitSerDe.java]]* is accessible without understanding how to really install and use it. For example you can create a table using HS2 via beeline with the aforementioned SerDe and it will work as long you do not do M/R jobs. The M/R jobs to do not work because the SerDe is not in aux to get shipped into distcache. I propose we do not package it this way and if someone would like to leverage an experimental feature they can add it manually to their environment. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
