Namit Jain commented on HIVE-2996:
----------------------------------
@Carl, this will be a iterative process, and the changes are only going in
contrib.
The internal, non-public APIs are locked for facebook anyway, and we run into
these
problems at deployment time. It would be very difficult to keep it in sync. in
a separate
branch.
Right now, there are no tests for these, so any change by any contributor
cannot break anything
in these hooks. As I will be adding tests for these hooks, I will be converting
these hooks to
not use any private data-structures/APIs. That is the reason, I did not blindly
any existing tests.
In the last few pushes, we have run into random issues, which could have been
addressed before had
this test been in place.
As I said before, the purpose of HIVE-2670 is similar, but having the facebook
deployment in the open
makes us feel much more comfortable in running the recent branch of hive. I
really dont want Facebook
to have its own branch for hive, which makes it very difficult to sync. up
later. The problem is that
if I keep developing in a separate branch, i will diverge very quickly and be
never able to converge.
