Make lots of existing ObjectInspectors settable -----------------------------------------------
Key: HIVE-699 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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
