[jira] Commented: (HIVE-1369) LazySimpleSerDe should be able to read classes that support some form of toString()

["Ashish Thusoo (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1369?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12872997#action_12872997 ] 

Ashish Thusoo commented on HIVE-1369:
-------------------------------------

I I do not see any drawbacks here. I think another requirement from this was that the serialization be such that it is order preserving whereever there is a notion of order, as this serde could also be used to serialize between map/reduce boundaries. So if the implementation takes care of that and does not introduce oerhead I think this would be good.

Others, what do you think about this?

> Currently LazySimpleSerDe is able to deserialize only BytesWritable or Text objects.  It should be pretty easy to extend the class to read any object that implements toString() method.
> Ideas or concerns?
