Mark Wagner updated HIVE-3264:
------------------------------
Attachment: HIVE-3264.6.patch
I rebased Eli's patch on the current trunk. I've also made changes so that
'fixed' fields come out as binary as well. This isn't an exact match, but it's
better than an array of tinyints I think.
As far as test cases, avro_nullable_fields.q includes fields of both fixed and
bytes type, so that test serializing and deserializing. There are also unit
test for each of those in TestAvroDeserializer and TestAvroSerializer.
> Add support for binary dataype to AvroSerde

> When the AvroSerde was written, Hive didn't have a binary type, so Avro's
> byte array type is converted an array of small ints. Now that HIVE-2380 is
> in, this step isn't necessary and we can convert both Avro's bytes type and
> probably fixed type to Hive's binary type.
