Hive Thrift support

Hello all,

I see from looking around the hive code i see there is some
interesting thrift support.

[edward@ec cassandra-handler]$ more
./build/eclipse-classes/queries/clientpositive/udf_case_thrift.q
EXPLAIN
SELECT CASE src_thrift.lint[0]
        WHEN 0 THEN src_thrift.lint[0] + 1
        WHEN 1 THEN src_thrift.lint[0] + 2

Is there any docs as to what things lint are, or how the thrift
integration works. Cassandra returns thrift types so I am wondering
what I have to work with and can this be better then mapping results
to other hive types.

Regards,
Edward
