Alan Gates commented on HCATALOG-64:
------------------------------------
bq. BTW the twiki is a bit outdated because of the refactoring and some
redesign.
That's not cool. That design is the one we (the HCat team) had agreed to.
Before submitting patches with a changed design we need to see and agree to
changes to that wiki page.
> Refactor HCatTableInfo, JobInfo and OutputJobInfo

> These classes and their roles has become convoluted. HCatTableInfo should be
> an HCat abstraction of table and thus not have any job specific information
> and should not contain different information depending on usage. *JobInfo
> classes should contain job specific information (user provided, derived from
> metastore info, etc). Since *JobInfo contains such information it should be
> the object which is passed to HCatInputFormat.setInput and
> HCatInputFormat.setOutput. Also JobInfo should be renamed to InputJobInfo for
> consistency and clarity. Also there needs to be a way to pass implementation
> specific configuration information down to the actual storage driver.
