--------------------------------------
Summary: Replacing the type of paths from String to Hadoop Path
Key: DRILL-5603
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-5603
Project: Apache Drill
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 1.10.0
Reporter: Vitalii Diravka
Fix For: 1.11.0
String paths are used in the different places of the Drill code:
FileSelection, Metadata, ParquetGroupScan, ReadEntryWithPath, FileWork,
FormatSelection, FormatPlugin, PartitionLocation and so on.
Code with paths as strings is hard to test and maintain. And there are a lot of
String to Path conversions and vice versa.
The aim of this jira to replace String paths with Hadoop Path. The job of the
Path class is do properly implement file path operations, just as the job of
the older File and newer Path classes in Java is to handle OS paths.
For the serialized structures a custom JsonSerializer<Path> and
JsonDeserializer<Path> can be implemented.
