Hi there,

Can anyone confirm whether TBLPROPERTIES in DDLs are ignored by custom
inputformats in the context of a UDAF?

I've written a custom input format and it works with a SELECT * but when I
do anything more like SELECT count(*) it returns 0.

INSERT INTO <table> SELECT * FROM <my custom inputformat table> doesn't
appear to insert anything into the table.

I found I had to use the "set" commands to make things work rather than use
DDL. This doesn't appear to make sense if the setting is specific to the
table and would cause problems if I was working with more than one table
and needed different values for the same setting.

Kind regards
Chris
