Hello Kudu Developers, I have filed KUDU-3142 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KUDU-3142> to track the idea of deprecating the kudu-mapreduce module and any related modules. The motivation is on the description of the Jira, but I also wanted to bring it to the mailing list to be sure it was visible for feedback. For convenience here is the description:
The kudu-mapreduce integration has not been improved in a couple of years > even though there are known outstanding issues and feature gaps. Additionally similar > functionality and capabilities now exist via Spark, Hive, Impala, and NiFi integrations. We should document > the deprecation of the kudu-mapreduce integration to notify users and so that we can remove it if > maintenance becomes an issue. > > Even if eventually removed, users can still use the jars published in > older versions as needed. > Additionally if a Hadoop InputFormat and OutputFormat is required, a much > more modern and maintained version is available in the Apache Hive project: https://github.com/apache/hive/tree/master/kudu-handler/src/java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/kudu > Please let me know what you think of the proposal.
