Reynold Xin commented on SPARK-15689:
-------------------------------------
That seems like an issue orthogonal to the API described here. Also I don't
think we should break the old API. V2 can be added alongside v1.
The Hive schema issue is due to Spark ignoring the Hive schema, because the
Hive metastore (at least in the past) has been buggy and doesn't always accept
valid data types specified in Spark.
> Data source API v2
> ------------------

> Key: SPARK-15689
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-15689
> Project: Spark

> This ticket tracks progress in creating the v2 of data source API. This new
> API should focus on:
> 1. Have a small surface so it is easy to freeze and maintain compatibility
> for a long time. Ideally, this API should survive architectural rewrites and
> user-facing API revamps of Spark.
> 2. Have a well-defined column batch interface for high performance.
> Convenience methods should exist to convert row-oriented formats into column
> batches for data source developers.
> 3. Still support filter push down, similar to the existing API.
> 4. Nice-to-have: support additional common operators, including limit and
> sampling.
> Note that both 1 and 2 are problems that the current data source API (v1)
> suffers. The current data source API has a wide surface with dependency on
> DataFrame/SQLContext, making the data source API compatibility depending on
> the upper level API. The current data source API is also only row oriented
> and has to go through an expensive external data type conversion to internal
> data type.
