Szehon Ho commented on HIVE-11912: ---------------------------------- Hey [~Ferd] I guess table properties can still be used to configure compression type, this change would not change that. I actually think something like parquet.compression should be in SerdeProperties, as its a special property unique to the serde. For example avro's serdeProperties include the location of the schema.url, which is unique to Avro. I've actually been confused for awhile why you can configure serde properties as table properties (so they seem interchange-able). But in any case, the MetaStoreUtils.getSchema appends all the Serde properties to the Table properties, such that its passed in to the code you pointed out (ParquetHiveSerde.initialize()) > Make snappy compression default for parquet tables > -------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-11912 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-11912 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: File Formats > Reporter: Szehon Ho > Assignee: Szehon Ho > Attachments: HIVE-11912.patch > > > Snappy is a popular compression codec for Parquet, and is the default in many > Parquet applications, increasing the performance. > This change would make it the default for new Hive Parquet tables. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
