Anthony Hsu commented on HIVE-6835:
-----------------------------------
[~xuefuz] and [~ashutoshc], just to clarify, is this the alternative solution
you're proposing?:
# Add
{code}
public void initialize(Configuration configuration, Properties tableProperties,
Properties partitionProperties) throws SerDeException;
{code}
to AbstractSerDe and provide a default implementation that just calls
{{initialize(configuration, partitionProperties)}}
# Change all calls of {{partitionSerde.initialize(conf, partProps)}} to
{{partitionSerde.initialize(conf, tblProps, partProps)}}
# Add
{code}
@Override
public void initialize(Configuration configuration, Properties tableProperties,
Properties partitionProperties) throws SerDeException;
{code}
to AvroSerDe and provide an implementation that just uses the tableProperties
I am okay with taking this approach, though it involves a lot more code changes
and will change the public AbstractSerDe API. Let me know what your thoughts
on this approach are.

> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 0.12.0

> To reproduce:
> {code}
> create table testarray (a array<string>);
> load data local inpath '/home/ahsu/test/array.txt' into table testarray;
> # create partitioned Avro table with one array column
> create table avroarray partitioned by (y string) row format serde
> 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.serde2.avro.AvroSerDe' with serdeproperties
> ('avro.schema.literal'='{"namespace":"test","name":"avroarray","type":
> "record", "fields": [ { "name":"a", "type":{"type":"array","items":"string"}
> } ] }') STORED as INPUTFORMAT
> 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.io.avro.AvroContainerInputFormat' OUTPUTFORMAT
> 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.io.avro.AvroContainerOutputFormat';
> insert into table avroarray partition(y=1) select * from testarray;
> # add an int column with a default value of 0
> alter table avroarray set serde
> 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.serde2.avro.AvroSerDe' with
> serdeproperties('avro.schema.literal'='{"namespace":"test","name":"avroarray","type":
> "record", "fields": [ {"name":"intfield","type":"int","default":0},{
> "name":"a", "type":{"type":"array","items":"string"} } ] }');
> # fails with ClassCastException
> select * from avroarray;
> {code}
> The select * fails with:
> {code}
> Failed with exception java.io.IOException:java.lang.ClassCastException:
> org.apache.hadoop.hive.serde2.objectinspector.StandardListObjectInspector
> cannot be cast to
> org.apache.hadoop.hive.serde2.objectinspector.PrimitiveObjectInspector
> {code}
