-----------------------------------
Summary: Improvements in reader/writer doc
Key: HCATALOG-479
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HCATALOG-479
Project: HCatalog
Issue Type: Bug
Components: documentation
Affects Versions: 0.5
Reporter: Alan Gates
Assignee: Lefty Leverenz
Priority: Minor
A couple of improvements for the hcatalog reader/writer doc:
# In both read and write the doc refers to serializing information from the
master to the slave. This is a detail of how data is often passed between
systems. What is required is that the master communicates the information to
its slaves. Whether or not it serializes it to accomplish that is not important.
# The last section of the writer API is confusing. Does the external system
that is writing the data construct an hcatIterator that it fills with records
allowing HCatalog to call getNext on that iterator. Or is HCatalog providing an
iterator that the external system writes to? A more complete example would help
clear this up.
