                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-699
             Project: Hadoop Hive
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Zheng Shao
            Assignee: Zheng Shao


We should make JavaObjectInspectors, StandardList/Struct/MapObjectInspector, 
ReflectionObjectInspectors settable.

This will allow us to make it possible to *write* into Thrift tables, as well 
as ProtocolBuffer tables in the future.
This will also allow us to pass complex objects into UDF and receive complex 
objects from UDF by using ObjectInspectorConverters.
