Zheng Shao commented on HIVE-495:
---------------------------------
There are 3 approaches to fix this:
1. Use fully-blown map/struct/array format everywhere. In this solution, users
will see the types of complex columns fully-blown instead of a java class,
which may not be wanted.
2. Use 2 type strings: internal type string, and display type string. This will
make sure users will see types of complex columns as before, but it makes the
code more convoluted.
3. Make our TypeInfoParser capable of parsing Java class names. If the
TypeInfoParser encounters a Java class name, it will use the
ReflectionObjectInspector to get the fully-blown TypeInfo structure.
I am going to take approach 3.
