Alan Gates commented on HIVE-17981:
-----------------------------------
I don't know what your timeline looks like, but waiting might mean waiting for
a while. On average it's taking a couple of weeks per patch to get these into
master, which means a month or more before the builders or test moves are in.
I agree it looks like we're working in the same areas and likely to bump into
each other.
Does it make sense for you to put your work into the standalone-metastore
branch as well? That is assuming you're ok with the builders and test moves
(HIVE-17982) that I put in there. That would mean waiting a while until your
work is in master, but it would avoid us duplicating work or invalidating each
other's patches.
> 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}}).
