Dmitriy V. Ryaboy commented on HIVE-3323:
-----------------------------------------
Sorry, let me try a less snide reply :)
It doesn't make sense to me to have a situation where you are working with
Thrift and Avro, and you want to not convert from Thrift but you do want to
convert from Avro. What you really want is establish how Hive does serde type
conversions, not how it does them for individual encodings of data.
> ThriftSerde: Enable enum to string conversions

> Key: HIVE-3323
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-3323
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 0.10.0
> Reporter: Travis Crawford
> Assignee: Travis Crawford
> Attachments: HIVE-3323_enum_to_string.1.patch,
> HIVE-3323_enum_to_string.2.patch, HIVE-3323_enum_to_string.3.patch,
> HIVE-3323_enum_to_string.4.patch, HIVE-3323_enum_to_string.5.patch
>
>
> When using serde-reported schemas with the ThriftDeserializer, Enum fields
> are presented as {{struct<value:int>}}
> Many users expect to work with the string values, which is both easier and
> more meaningful as the string value communicates what is represented.
> Hive should provide a mechanism to optionally convert enum values to strings.
