Make lots of existing ObjectInspectors settable
-----------------------------------------------
Key: HIVE-699
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-699
Project: Hadoop Hive
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Zheng Shao
Assignee: Zheng Shao
We should make JavaObjectInspectors, StandardList/Struct/MapObjectInspector,
ReflectionObjectInspectors settable.
This will allow us to make it possible to *write* into Thrift tables, as well
as ProtocolBuffer tables in the future.
This will also allow us to pass complex objects into UDF and receive complex
objects from UDF by using ObjectInspectorConverters.
