Hey hive gurus - Would it be possible for a committer to take a look at the following two issues?
"Hive should expand nested structs when setting the table schema from thrift structs" https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2941 "Hive should store the full table schema in partition storage descriptors" https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2950 DETAILS: The general issue is handling serde-reported schemas. If the serde-reported structure contains nested structures they are not expanded, causing downstream issues for HCatalog & not fully describing the table for users browsing schemas. Also, the partition schema does not have serde-reported fields copied to its storage descriptor causing issues. Serde-reported schemas are super useful, and these two patches should make it even better. The issues themselves have far more details, including examples of current & proposed behavior. Thanks! Travis
