Sandy Ryza commented on HIVE-7540:
----------------------------------
In general a Spark closure is a Serializable object. The proposal would be to
allow objects underneath this object to be Writable, but not Serializable. I'm
not aware of a way to tell Java serialization to listen for objects that
implement a certain type as it navigates the object graph and use a custom
serialization for them.
I'm looking at the RangePartitioner code now and it might be possible to use
custom serialization for the range bounds. I just don't see a way to do it in
the general case.

> The root cause is that the RangePartitioner used by sortByKey contains
> rangeBounds: Array[BytesWritable], which is considered not serializable in
> spark.
> A workaround to this issue is to set the number of partitions to 1 when
> calling sortByKey, in which case the rangeBounds will be just an empty array.
> NO PRECOMMIT TESTS. This is for spark branch only.
