Alan Gates commented on HCATALOG-444:
-------------------------------------
A few comments:
# I agree with Travis, some discussion of failure handling would be helpful.
# In both read and write the doc refers to serializing information from the
master to the slave. This is a detail of how data is often passed between
systems. What is required is that the master communicates the information to
its slaves. Whether or not it serializes it to accomplish that is not
important.
# The last section of the writer API is confusing. Does the external system
that is writing the data construct an hcatIterator that it fills with records
allowing HCatalog to call getNext on that iterator. Or is HCatalog providing
an iterator that the external system writes to? A more complete example would
help clear this up.
