Namit Jain commented on HIVE-4007:
----------------------------------
I agree, it is incompatible. I can change the existing serde's in hive
codebase, but there may be external serde's out there, which I have
no control over.
We have to take this hit sometime.
> Create abstract classes for serializer and deserializer

> Key: HIVE-4007
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-4007
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Serializers/Deserializers
> Reporter: Namit Jain
> Assignee: Namit Jain
>
> Currently, it is very difficult to change the Serializer/Deserializer
> interface, since all the SerDes directly implement the interface.
> Instead, we should have abstract classes for implementing these interfaces.
> In case of a interface change, only the abstract class and the relevant
> serde needs to change.
