Ashutosh Chauhan commented on HIVE-4331: ---------------------------------------- Thinking more about this, I think you can make HiveOFimpl work for this requirement which is not to require storage handler writers needing to implement HiveOF in following manner. Currently HiveOFImpl::getRecordWriter() throws Exception, instead you can do something similar what you are doing in HivePassThroughOF that is look up in the config to get underlying OF from storage handler and invoke getRR on it and return that. Make sense? > Integrated StorageHandler for Hive and HCat using the HiveStorageHandler > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HIVE-4331 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-4331 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Task > Components: HCatalog > Affects Versions: 0.11.0, 0.12.0 > Reporter: Ashutosh Chauhan > Assignee: Viraj Bhat > Attachments: HIVE4331_07-17.patch, StorageHandlerDesign_HIVE4331.pdf > > > 1) Deprecate the HCatHBaseStorageHandler and "RevisionManager" from HCatalog. > These will now continue to function but internally they will use the > "DefaultStorageHandler" from Hive. They will be removed in future release of > Hive. > 2) Design a HivePassThroughFormat so that any new StorageHandler in Hive will > bypass the HiveOutputFormat. We will use this class in Hive's > "HBaseStorageHandler" instead of the "HiveHBaseTableOutputFormat". > 3) Write new unit tests in the HCat's "storagehandler" so that systems such > as Pig and Map Reduce can use the Hive's "HBaseStorageHandler" instead of the > "HCatHBaseStorageHandler". > 4) Make sure all the old and new unit tests pass without backward > compatibility (except known issues as described in the Design Document). > 5) Replace all instances of the HCat source code, which point to > "HCatStorageHandler" to use the"HiveStorageHandler" including the > "FosterStorageHandler". > I have attached the design document for the same and will attach a patch to > this Jira. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
