Sergey Shelukhin commented on HIVE-17924:
-----------------------------------------
It's an interface that serves no useful purpose... APIs change, esp. between
major versions (this was deprecated in 0.NN and removed in 2.3). The code
change for users is expected over such a long timeframe and is a trivial
one-line change. I don't see a specific use case for restoring it.
> Restore SerDe by reverting HIVE-15167 to unbreak API compatibility

> HIVE-15167 broke compatibility badly for very little gain and caused a lot of
> pain for our users. We should revert it and restore the SerDe interface.
