Szehon Ho commented on HIVE-7446:
---------------------------------
You can look at a discussion in HIVE-6131 for RCFile, it would be great if the
same issue does not exist with Avro (it may have been fixed in HIVE-6835, but
good to test it)
> Add support to ALTER TABLE .. ADD COLUMN to Avro backed tables
