Summary: Add SchemaCompatibility check to AvroDeserializer Key: HIVE-10708 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-10708 Project: Hive Issue Type: Improvement Components: Serializers/Deserializers Reporter: Swarnim Kulkarni Assignee: Swarnim Kulkarni Avro provides a nice API[1] to check if the given reader schema can be used to deserialize the data given its writer schema. I think it would be super nice to integrate this into the AvroDeserializer so that we can fail fast and gracefully if there is a bad schema compatibility [1] https://avro.apache.org/docs/1.7.7/api/java/org/apache/avro/SchemaCompatibility.html -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
