> Hive cannot determine the list of columns automatically based on Parquet serde

> Key: PARQUET-76
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PARQUET-76
> Project: Parquet
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Pratik Khadloya
> Priority: Critical
>
> Today we are not able to create a parquet based hive table without having to
> specify the column names and types. When we try to define it the following
> way, we get the error
> "14/08/20 17:27:46 ERROR ql.Driver: FAILED: SemanticException [Error 10043]:
> Either list of columns or a custom serializer should be specified"
> {code:sql}
> CREATE TABLE parquet_test
> ROW FORMAT SERDE
> 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.io.parquet.serde.ParquetHiveSerDe'
> STORED AS INPUTFORMAT
> 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.io.parquet.MapredParquetInputFormat'
> OUTPUTFORMAT
> 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.io.parquet.MapredParquetOutputFormat'
> LOCATION
> '/user/pratik/campaigns';
> {code}
> Whereas if we create a hive table on top of AVRO based files, we do not need
> to specify the column names, hive automatically figures out the schema
> through the SerDe.
> {code:sql}
> CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE campaigns
