Namit Jain created HIVE-3410: -------------------------------- Summary: All operators's conf should inherit from a common class Key: HIVE-3410 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-3410 Project: Hive Issue Type: Improvement Reporter: Namit Jain
I faced this problem while working on HIVE-3086. Wanted to add a common interface to all the operator's confs. Currently, the operator signature is Operator<T extends Serializable>, which makes it difficult to add more methods to T. Created a common interface SerializableCloneable, and now Operator<T extends SerializableCloneable>. If we want to add more methods to SerializableCloneable in the future, it wont require changing so many files, so submitting it as a separate patch. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
