Owen O'Malley updated HIVE-2711: -------------------------------- Status: Patch Available (was: Open) > Make the header of RCFile unique > -------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-2711 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2711 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Serializers/Deserializers > Reporter: Owen O'Malley > Assignee: Owen O'Malley > Attachments: HIVE-2711.D2115.1.patch > > > The RCFile implementation was copied from Hadoop's SequenceFile and copied > the 'magic' string in the header. This means that you can't use the header to > distinguish between RCFiles and SequenceFiles. > I'd propose that we create a new header for RCFiles (RCF?) to replace the > current SEQ. To maintain compatibility, we'll need to continue to accept the > current 'SEQ\06' and just make new files contain the new header. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
