Szehon Ho commented on HIVE-12635:
----------------------------------
Chatted with Aihua on patch, seems simple.
Small comment for consideration, does it make sense to init timestamp variable
to 0, and then do the loop from 0 to result.rawCells().length? For cleaner
code.
And you may know more than me, does this qualify for backward-incompatibility?
+1 other than those.
> Hive should return the latest hbase cell timestamp as the row timestamp value

> When hive talks to hbase and maps hbase timestamp field to one hive column,
> seems hive returns the first cell timestamp instead of the latest one as the
> timestamp value.
> Makes sense to return the latest timestamp since adding the latest cell can
> be considered an update to the row.
