Josh Rosen updated SPARK-39422:
-------------------------------
    Description: 
If you run `SHOW CREATE TABLE` against a Hive table which uses an unsupported 
Serde configuration, Spark will return an error message like
{code:java}
org.apache.spark.sql.AnalysisException: Failed to execute SHOW CREATE TABLE 
against table rcFileTable, which is created by Hive and uses the following 
unsupported serde configuration
 SERDE: org.apache.hadoop.hive.serde2.columnar.LazyBinaryColumnarSerDe 
INPUTFORMAT: org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.io.RCFileInputFormat OUTPUTFORMAT: 
org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.io.RCFileOutputFormat {code}
which is confusing to end users.

In this situation, I think the error should suggest `SHOW CREATE TABLE ... AS 
SERDE` to users (similar to other error messages in this code path).

> SHOW CREATE TABLE should suggest 'AS SERDE' for Hive tables with unsupported 
> serde configurations
