David Chen commented on HIVE-6806: ---------------------------------- By the way, it may also be good to add a qfile test for Avro schema evolution over different partitions. I remember we have had to fix some issues related to schema evolution, such as HIVE-6835. FYI, I also have a TypeInfo to Avro Schema converter in my patch for HIVE-7286 along with some unit tests for the converter. Feel free to go ahead and make use of it. > 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)
