Raghotham Murthy commented on HIVE-134:
---------------------------------------
Why does adding an interface to specify required jobconf options in the serde
make it harder to write serdes? Its about documenting what is required by the
serde. It will be make it more clear for the serde writer (to specify) as well
as the serde user (to figure out) what runtime parameters are required.
The problem right now is that there is no easy way for a user/developer to
figure out what the configurable parameters are for using a serde. Of course,
since we have only a handful of serdes this is not an urgent issue right now.
