Xuefu Zhang created HIVE-7022: --------------------------------- Summary: Replace BinaryWritable with BytesWritable in Parquet serde Key: HIVE-7022 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-7022 Project: Hive Issue Type: Improvement Components: Serializers/Deserializers Affects Versions: 0.13.0 Reporter: Xuefu Zhang Assignee: Xuefu Zhang
Currently ParquetHiveSerde uses BinaryWritable to enclose bytes read from Parquet data. However, existing Hadoop class, BytesWritable, already does that, and BinaryWritable offers no advantage. On the other hand, BinaryWritable has a confusing getString() method, which, in misused, can cause unexpected result. The proposal here is to replace it with Hadoop BytesWritable. The issue was identified in HIVE-6367, serving as a follow-up JIRA. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
