I am trying to decipher my way though the code as well. Apparently the
work is half done to return ProfotBuf as a native type. As there is
support for ObjectInstector.THRIFT and ObjectInspector.ProtoBuffer. I
currently want to write a Serde that works like the thrift serde where
protobuf objects can be given directly to hive. Come hang out in the
IRC room and maybe we can chat more about this.
