internationalization support and sort order (ascedning/descending) support in 
create table
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HADOOP-4085
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-4085
             Project: Hadoop Core
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: contrib/hive
            Reporter: Namit Jain


User cannot specify utf8 strings in the query, both for selection and 
filtering. Mysql syntax should be followed: 

select _utf8 'string' from <TableName>
select <selectExpr> from <TableName> where col = _utf8 0x<HexValue>


To start with, utf8 strings should be supported. Support for other character 
sets can be added in the future on demand.

The identifiers (table name/column name etc.) cannot be utf8 strings, it is 
only for the data values.

Although, in create table, the user has the option of specifying sorted 
columns, he does not have the option of specifying whether they are ascending 
or descending.
Create Table syntax should be enhanced to support that.
