Heya, I'm working on the docs for our contrib projects, and I noticed the Hive Serde wasn't about. ACCUMULO-143[1] shows patch available, but it didn't make it into a repo before the git move.
Based on the discussion back around the flume sink, my guess is things like this should be in other projects if possible. However, this particular contrib is basically the equivalent of hte Pig Storage contrib[2]. This leaves me with a few questions I'd like to get some consensus on: 1) Generally, do we want the contrib project guide to explicitly say that interoperability projects should favor pushing Accumulo specific components into other projects? (e.g. an Accumulo Sink for Flume) 2) Specifically for Hive, do want a contrib project added for this Serde, or try to get it into Hive? 3) For consistency, would we prefer Accumulo-Pig get pushed into Pig (or more likely Piggybank)?
