Ashish Kumar Singh updated HIVE-6806:
-------------------------------------
Release Note: Add support to infer Avro schema from Hive table schema.
Avro-backed tables can simply be created by using "STORED AS AVRO" in DDL
statement. AvroSerDe takes care of creating appropriate Avro schema from Hive
table schema, a big win in terms of Avro usability in Hive.
> CREATE TABLE should support STORED AS AVRO

> 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.
