Ashutosh Chauhan commented on HIVE-4007: ---------------------------------------- [~namit] I would like to see this make into 0.11. Do you agree with what I said in my previous comment w.r.t to preserving backward compatibility? > 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 > Attachments: hive.4007.1.patch, hive.4007.2.patch, hive.4007.3.patch, > hive.4007.4.patch > > > 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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
