> HCatCreateTableDesc::Builder allows for StorageHandler to be specified, but
> not the SerDe class. So if records are serialized (in custom row-format) to a
> known file-format, there's no way for that table to be created (with the
> equivalent of ROW FORMAT SERDE 'com.my.custom.SerDe' STORED AS sequencefile).
> The workaround (for the moment) is to either only create tables using the
> hive cli, or always specify a StorageHandler.
> I've a patch to fix this.
