Travis Crawford updated HIVE-3323:
----------------------------------

    Attachment: HIVE-3323_enum_to_string.5.patch

Ok, I believe this patch is complete.

Its interesting to see the megastruct serde-reported schema in the test output. 
For example, binary is reported as:

my_binary       
struct<hb:binary,offset:int,isreadonly:boolean,bigendian:boolean,nativebyteorder:boolean>
       from deserializer

This is because its a HeapByteBuffer; we have a followup patch that fixes this 
that can be submitted after this issue is resolved.

Also note how sets are structs with no fields. 

my_stringset    struct<>        from deserializer

I'm not sure how to resolve this yet (turn them into lists?) but is an issue 
that we now have visibility into.

> When using serde-reported schemas with the ThriftDeserializer, Enum fields 
> are presented as {{struct<value:int>}}
> Many users expect to work with the string values, which is both easier and 
> more meaningful as the string value communicates what is represented.
> Hive should provide a mechanism to optionally convert enum values to strings.
