Rui Li commented on HIVE-16945:
-------------------------------
Hi [~jcamachorodriguez], I suppose this won't need to change the {{equals}} or
{{hashCode}} of Operator right? And maybe "logicalEquals" would be a better
name for the new method (since compareTo usually returns an int)?
> Add method to compare Operators

> Key: HIVE-16945
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-16945
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Operators
> Affects Versions: 3.0.0
> Reporter: Jesus Camacho Rodriguez
>
> HIVE-10844 introduced a comparator factory class for operators that
> encapsulates all the logic to assess whether two operators are equal:
> https://github.com/apache/hive/blob/master/ql/src/java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/ql/optimizer/OperatorComparatorFactory.java
> The current design might create problems as any change in fields of operators
> will break the comparators. It would be better to do this via inheritance
> from Operator base class, by adding a {{compareTo(Operator other)}} method.
