Peter Vary commented on HIVE-17981:
-----------------------------------
[~alangates]: We were stared to draw some drafts for enhancing the
IMetaStoreClient testing. No jira yet - trying to decide the best course of
action, and see if it is worth the effort. Do you think it could be done during
your work with the standalone metastore, or shall we wait a little until you
finish the separation?

> Create a set of builders for Thrift classes
> -------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HIVE-17981
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-17981
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: Standalone Metastore
> Reporter: Alan Gates
> Assignee: Alan Gates
> Priority: Major
>
> Instantiating some of the Thrift classes is painful. Consider building a
> {{Table}} object, which requires a {{StorageDescriptor}}, which requires a
> {{SerDeInfo}} and a list of {{FieldInfo}}. All that is really necessary for
> a Table in the most simple case is a name, a database, and some columns. But
> currently creating even a simple Table requires 20+ lines of code. This is
> particularly painful in tests.
> I propose to add a set of builders. These will come with reasonable defaults
> to minimize the boilerplate code. They will also include simple methods for
> common operations (like adding columns, or a parameter) without requiring the
> user to create all the sub-objects (like {{StorageDescriptor}}).
