Alexander Pivovarov commented on HIVE-10580:
--------------------------------------------
Lets look at the following facts
- after we fix the bug the implementation will be correct.
- name of the method is also good, we do not have other method which replaces
it.
- currently the method is not used in UDFs which exist in hive-exec project
- the method might be used in hive users custom UDFs
Hive is not just a product itself. Hive is an extendable platform. End-users
can develop their own UDFs, Serde, etc.
The platform should provide clear and useful interfaces for external developers.
Do you still want to deprecate useful base class method with correct name and
implementation just because it's not used in hive-exec itself?
