Alice Fan commented on HIVE-10187: ---------------------------------- Hi [~mwagner], you mentioned recursive is likely to not work with other components of Hive. Do you have an example for it ? Is there other reason to disable support of avro recursive schema except for infinite loop while running describe? > Avro backed tables don't handle cyclical or recursive records > ------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-10187 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-10187 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Serializers/Deserializers > Affects Versions: 1.2.0 > Reporter: Mark Wagner > Assignee: Mark Wagner > Priority: Major > Fix For: 2.1.0 > > Attachments: HIVE-10187.1.patch, HIVE-10187.2.patch, > HIVE-10187.3.patch, HIVE-10187.4.patch, HIVE-10187.5.patch, > HIVE-10187.demo.patch > > > [HIVE-7653] changed the Avro SerDe to make it generate TypeInfos even for > recursive/cyclical schemas. However, any attempt to serialize data which > exploits that ability results in silently dropped fields. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
