-----------------------------------
Summary: Allow implementations to access member variables of
AbstractRecordWriter
Key: HIVE-19534
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-19534
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Streaming
Reporter: Matt Burgess
The AbstractRecordWriter class in the Hive 3 Streaming API (package
org.apache.hive.streaming) provides common functionality for processing
incoming records (each as a byte[]) where subclasses often need only to
implement the encode() and createSerde() methods and let AbstractRecordWriter
handle the rest.
However for some custom RecordWriters, the records may not be available as a
byte array, and thus the custom RecordWriter may need to handle the writes and
the "paperwork" such as connection stats updates (number of records written,
e.g.), basically the same code that is in the write(long, byte[]) method. To do
that, the subclass will need access to the member variables of
AbstractRecordWriter, which are currently private. The same likely holds for
the private methods.
This Jira proposes to make the member variables and methods of
AbstractRecordWriter protected (or package-protected) as prudent.
