David Chen commented on HIVE-6806: ---------------------------------- Thanks for contributing this, [~singhashish]! I agree with [~brocknoland] on this. Once HIVE-5976 goes in, then this patch will become much simpler since adding native support for Avro will no longer require the changes to the Hive grammar and parser. > Native Avro support in Hive > --------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-6806 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-6806 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Serializers/Deserializers > Affects Versions: 0.12.0 > Reporter: Jeremy Beard > Assignee: Ashish Kumar Singh > Priority: Minor > Labels: Avro > Attachments: HIVE-6806.patch > > > Avro is well established and widely used within Hive, however creating > Avro-backed tables requires the messy listing of the SerDe, InputFormat and > OutputFormat classes. > Similarly to HIVE-5783 for Parquet, Hive would be easier to use if it had > native Avro support. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
