Namit Jain commented on HIVE-256:
---------------------------------

It is used to keep track of the aggregation classes using variable length 
fields. There were few bugs there, which were getting hidden because the 
reflection API getFields() only shows public fields, whereas 
getDeclaredFields() shows all fields.

For example, max has a string variable whose size is not fixed, it is sampled 
at runtime

> map side aggregation : number of output rows is same as number of input rows
