We can do the backward compatibility with com.facebook.thrift classes the same way we did the migration from com.facebook.hive to org.apache.hadoop.hive. We can register serde with both the names and might have to change some of the thrift serdes for that.

The namespace of the Thrift trunk is now org.apache.thrift (where we are using com.facebook.thrift). The old thrift serdes no longer work against log files generated from thrift trunk. Quite a mess and no easy way out it seems. -----Original Message----- From: Ashish Thusoo [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, April 10, 2009 10:40 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: libthrift and hive Just saw this. I guess since we are already packaging a libthrift.jar(an older version) in hive/libs we should be ok with the release...

Just as an fyi. The problems are too numerous to have a simple fix (lots and lots member variables were apparently labeled 'final' and hive depends on assigning them values at numerous points).
