Carl Steinbach commented on HIVE-895: ------------------------------------- bq. One thing of concern is that the avroserde relies on the ql package, which required a change to the build script to build serde afterwards. Is there a defined dependency for Hive's modules, and if so does this break that? If so, the other option would be to move this to the contrib package, but to me contrib is a dirty word and I'd like to avoid that. Right now ql depends on serde, but not vice-versa, so it sounds like this patch will add a circular dependency which is something we should probably try to avoid. I also agree with you that this belongs in the serde package as opposed to contrib. Do you think it's possible to move the ql code that the avro serde depends on to common? Also, I apologize in advance for this request, but would you mind posting a review for this on phabricator? Directions are located here: https://cwiki.apache.org/Hive/phabricatorcodereview.html If this looks like too much of I pain I can post the review request for you, but I may need some help applying the patch to trunk.
