Summary: 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. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
