David Chen commented on HIVE-6806:
----------------------------------
By the way, it may also be good to add a qfile test for Avro schema evolution
over different partitions. I remember we have had to fix some issues related to
schema evolution, such as HIVE-6835.
FYI, I also have a TypeInfo to Avro Schema converter in my patch for HIVE-7286
along with some unit tests for the converter. Feel free to go ahead and make
use of it.
> Native Avro support in Hive
> ---------------------------

> Key: HIVE-6806
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-6806
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Serializers/Deserializers
> Affects Versions: 0.12.0
> Reporter: Jeremy Beard
> Assignee: Ashish Kumar Singh
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: Avro
> Attachments: HIVE-6806.patch

>
> Avro is well established and widely used within Hive, however creating
> Avro-backed tables requires the messy listing of the SerDe, InputFormat and
> OutputFormat classes.
> Similarly to HIVE-5783 for Parquet, Hive would be easier to use if it had
> native Avro support.
