Apache Spark reassigned SPARK-7186:
-----------------------------------
Assignee: Apache Spark (was: Davies Liu)
> Decouple internal Row from external Row
> ---------------------------------------
>
> Key: SPARK-7186
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-7186
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: SQL
> Reporter: Reynold Xin
> Assignee: Apache Spark
> Priority: Blocker
>
> Currently, we use o.a.s.sql.Row both internally and externally. The external
> interface is wider than what the internal needs because it is designed to
> facilitate end-user programming. This design has proven to be very error
> prone and cumbersome for internal Row implementations.
> As a first step, we should just create an InternalRow interface in the
> catalyst module, which is identical to the current Row interface. And we
> should switch all internal operators/expressions to use this InternalRow
> instead. When we need to expose Row, we convert the InternalRow
> implementation into Row for users.
> After this, we can start removing methods that don't make sense for
> InternalRow (in a separate ticket). This is probably one of the most
> important refactoring in Spark 1.5.
