Justin Coffey commented on HIVE-6757:
-------------------------------------
Owen, the solution your proposing means that there is no seamless upgrade path
for existing parquet-hive users and that somewhere on the hive wiki there will
have to be a call out "attention existing parquet users, you must include the
parquet-hive.jar when upgrading to hive 13. we're sorry, but this is the price
you have to pay for being an early adopter and driving functionality".
One of the goals of the #HIVE-5783 patch was to make the lives of parquet users
easier (there were of course many other reasons, but ease of use is a good goal
in and of itself). The classes as they are do no harm and it's hard to see how
they pollute the code base of Hive in any significant way. This patch kinda
sorta seems a tiny bit punitive if you ask me.
Please don't take any of this the wrong way, but I believe this is what a fair
chunk of the parquet-hive community might think if this patch is committed.
