Sergey Shelukhin commented on HIVE-17924:
-----------------------------------------
Btw, that patch added a method to SerDe with a default implementation; to
duplicate this functionality one would either need to add a method to the
interface, which is actually more disruptive and to more people (right now
anyone who is using AbstractSerDe is not affected); or adding bunch of
instanceof-s everywhere where SerDe and not AbstractSerDe will be used, which
is an ugly hack that amply justifies the API change as described above
(deprecated for years over 2 major versions, one-line change to fix for some
users)
> 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.
