John Sichi commented on HIVE-78:
--------------------------------
Regarding pass-by-name vs pass-by-value for object references in the Thrift
API, take a look at how drop table works. We already fetch the table
descriptor in DDLTask (so that we can include its info in the posthook). But
then, when we drop the table, we pass dbname+tblname (not the actual table
object). So I don't see the need to invent a new pattern here.
For dealing with compound names, it's fine to define a new struct
ObjectReference with object type plus various optional components, then pass
that. (In the future, we could also decide to hide an ID in there for the
lookup-skipping optimization you mention if it turns out to be warranted.)
