> Serialized objects that are shipped via Hadoop {{Configuration}} are encoded using custom encoding (see {{HCatUtil.encodeBytes()}} and its complement {{HCatUtil.decodeBytes()}}) which has 100% overhead.  In other words, each byte in the serialized object becomes 2 bytes after encoding.  Perhaps, this might be one of the reasons for the problem reported in HIVE-453.  The patch for HIVE-453 compressed serialized {{InputJobInfo}} objects to solve the problem.
> By using Base64 encoding, the overhead will be reduced to about 33%.  This will alleviate the problem for all serialized objects.
