---------------------------------
Summary: Create a set of builders for Thrift classes
Key: HIVE-17981
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-17981
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Sub-task
Components: Standalone Metastore
Reporter: Alan Gates
Assignee: Alan Gates
Priority: Major
Instantiating some of the Thrift classes is painful. Consider building a
{{Table}} object, which requires a {{StorageDescriptor}}, which requires a
{{SerDeInfo}} and a list of {{FieldInfo}}. All that is really necessary for a
Table in the most simple case is a name, a database, and some columns. But
currently creating even a simple Table requires 20+ lines of code. This is
particularly painful in tests.
I propose to add a set of builders. These will come with reasonable defaults
to minimize the boilerplate code. They will also include simple methods for
common operations (like adding columns, or a parameter) without requiring the
user to create all the sub-objects (like {{StorageDescriptor}}).
