Travis Crawford created HCATALOG-484:
----------------------------------------
Summary: HCatalog should use ql.metadata Table and Partition
classes
Key: HCATALOG-484
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HCATALOG-484
Project: HCatalog
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Travis Crawford
Assignee: Travis Crawford
Hive has two sets of classes for representing tables and partitions. For
example:
* {{import org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.metadata.Table}}
* {{import org.apache.hadoop.hive.metastore.api.Table}}
The {{metadata.api}} versions represent exactly what's stored in the metastore,
while the {{ql.metadata}} versions add some business logic, such as providing
serde-reported columns.
HCatalog should always use the {{ql.metadata}} versions of Table and Partition
classes except when communicating with the metastore, or serializing these
objects into the job conf.
