> 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}}).
