----------------------------------

             Summary: When I run `CREATE TABLE new_table LIKE avro_table`, the 
schema does not get mapped properly from an Avro schema to a Hive schema
                 Key: HIVE-4286
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-4286
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Uri Laserson


I have an Avro-backed table called vcf_flat. I run the following commands from 
the Hive shell:

CREATE TABLE vcf_flat_whitelisted LIKE vcf_flat;
ALTER TABLE vcf_flat_whitelisted SET FILEFORMAT SEQUENCEFILE;

No errors, and I can see the table when I run `SHOW TABLES;`:

hive> SHOW TABLES;
OK
cosmic
dbsnp
sample_07
sample_08
vcf_flat
vcf_flat_text
vcf_flat_whitelisted
Time taken: 0.061 seconds

However, this is the output for `DESCRIBE vcf_flat_whitelisted`:

FAILED: SemanticException [Error 10001]: Table not found vcf_flat_whitelisted
