Lefty Leverenz commented on HIVE-3752:
--------------------------------------
[~nitay], I took the liberty of revising the last line of your proposal because
it looked like a cut-&-paste error from the reading section. I changed
"HiveApiInputFormat" to "HiveApiOutputFormat" and "Hadoop-compatible reading
system" to "Hadoop-compatible writing system" -- okay?
> Add a non-sql API in hive to access data.

> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Nitay Joffe

> We would like to add an input/output format for accessing Hive data in Hadoop
> directly without having to use e.g. a transform. Using a transform
> means having to do a whole map-reduce step with its own disk accesses and its
> imposed structure. It also means needing to have Hive be the base
> infrastructure for the entire system being developed which is not the right
> fit as we only need a small part of it (access to the data).
> So we propose adding an API level InputFormat and OutputFormat to Hive that
> will make it trivially easy to select a table with partition spec and read
> from / write to it. We chose this design to make it compatible with Hadoop so
> that existing systems that work with Hadoop's IO API will just work out of
> the box.
> We need this system for the Giraph graph processing system
> (http://giraph.apache.org/) as running graph jobs which read/write from Hive
> is a common use case.
