             Summary: Refactor a few object inspector class to eliminate 
redundant information
                 Key: HIVE-5366
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-5366
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Serializers/Deserializers, Types
    Affects Versions: 0.12.0
            Reporter: Xuefu Zhang
            Assignee: Xuefu Zhang
             Fix For: 0.13.0


AbstractPrimitiveObjectInspector class has two fields:

{code}
  protected PrimitiveTypeEntry typeEntry;
  protected BaseTypeParams typeParams;
{code}

But PrimitiveTypeEntry already has member BaseTypeParams instance, which is 
identical to "typeParams" we see here. Thus, there is some redundant 
information stored at different places. Ideally, we should have a single point 
of truth.

This refactoring is required by HIVE-3976 work. This is singled out to make the 
review easier.
