Sushanth Sowmyan commented on HCATALOG-425:
-------------------------------------------
On a general note, btw, for this patch, I would have much rather not touched
HCatRecordSerDe at all, leaving the promotion semantics entirely inside
HCatLoader and having the HCatRecord exactly match the datatypes of the given
HCatSchema at all times. Since that was behind a config-guard that defaults to
false anyway, that shouldn't matter outside of pig, so I'm still a +1 on this,
but I'm a little nervous about having HCatRecord and HCatSchema out of synch.
Is there a strong reason for not doing this conversion in the tuple conversion?
