Chinna Rao Lalam commented on HIVE-6756: ---------------------------------------- Hi Lefty Leverenz, Need to update this in Alter Table/Partition File Format section: Alter table set fileformat with INPUTFORMAT & OUTPUTFORMAT case, throw exception if user doesn't specify serde. ie if user is specifying INPUTFORMAT & OUTPUTFORMAT she must also specify serde. > alter table set fileformat should set serde too > ----------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-6756 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-6756 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 0.13.0 > Reporter: Owen O'Malley > Assignee: Chinna Rao Lalam > Fix For: 0.14.0 > > Attachments: HIVE-6756.1.patch, HIVE-6756.2.patch, HIVE-6756.3.patch, > HIVE-6756.patch > > > Currently doing alter table set fileformat doesn't change the serde.
