Description

Hive uses the library from src/contrib/hive/serde to do serialization/deserialization.
We want to do a refactoring of the library to:

1. Split Serializer and Deserializer interface
2. Split Serializer/Deserializer and ObjectInspector interface
3. Change hive/metaserver and hive/ql to use the new SerDe framework
