He Yongqiang updated HIVE-2171: ------------------------------- Status: Open (was: Patch Available) > Allow custom serdes to set field comments > ----------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-2171 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2171 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 0.7.0 > Reporter: Jakob Homan > Assignee: Jakob Homan > Fix For: 0.7.1 > > Attachments: HIVE-2171.patch > > > Currently, while serde implementations can set a field's name, they can't set > its comment. These are set in the metastore utils to {{(from > deserializer)}}. For those serdes that can provide meaningful comments for a > field, they should be propagated to the table description. These > serde-provided comments could be prepended to "(from deserializer)" if others > feel that's a meaningful distinction. This change involves updating > {{StructField}} to support a (possibly null) comment field and then > propagating this change out to the myriad places {{StructField}} is thrown > around. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
