Jie Li commented on HIVE-3323:
------------------------------
Hi, we used to use the struct<value:int> representation in Hive 0.8 and got hit
by this incompatible change after upgrading. Any reason not providing a
configuration for this change? I guess it might break some other users.

> 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.
