Travis Crawford commented on HIVE-3323:
---------------------------------------
Sounds good [~ashutoshc]! I'm rebasing this patch against trunk and making
enum-to-string the default, and leaving a property in place to disable the
conversion. I'll open a reviewboard for the updated patch.
I'm excited to get MegaStruct in, so we can add test cases for some bizarre but
valid thrift structs we've come across :)
> ThriftSerde: Enable enum to string conversions
> ----------------------------------------------

> Key: HIVE-3323
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-3323
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 0.10.0
> Reporter: Travis Crawford
> Assignee: Travis Crawford
> Attachments: HIVE-3323_enum_to_string.1.patch,
> HIVE-3323_enum_to_string.2.patch, HIVE-3323_enum_to_string.3.patch,

>
> 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.
