Lefty Leverenz commented on HIVE-6806: -------------------------------------- Shouldn't AVRO be added as a possible value for the *hive.default.fileformat* parameter in HiveConf.java? * [Configuration Properties -- hive.default.fileformat | https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/Configuration+Properties#ConfigurationProperties-hive.default.fileformat] > CREATE TABLE should support STORED AS AVRO > ------------------------------------------ > > 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 > Fix For: 0.14.0 > > Attachments: HIVE-6806.1.patch, HIVE-6806.2.patch, HIVE-6806.3.patch, > 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. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
