Zheng Shao commented on HIVE-288:
---------------------------------
I agree it's better to name it serde. But in the metastore we directly store
the class name, so renaming the class name will not be that straight forward
(especially the serde classes are still in our metastore - although not
anywhere else in the world)
Comparing with the pain of migration, I think it's not that bad to keep it as
serde2. Users won't see it, and for developers we can put a comment in the code.
> Remove the old serde package
