Brock Noland commented on HIVE-5976: ------------------------------------ Thank you for your analysis! I think that both alter and create should set the serde. AFAIK it is populated in the HMS despite not being set. If tests fail because an additional line of output we'll just have to update them. Instructions on how to update them is under "How do I update the output of a CliDriver testcase?" here https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/HiveDeveloperFAQ > Decouple input formats from STORED as keywords > ---------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-5976 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-5976 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Task > Reporter: Brock Noland > Assignee: Brock Noland > Attachments: HIVE-5976.2.patch, HIVE-5976.3.patch, HIVE-5976.3.patch, > HIVE-5976.4.patch, HIVE-5976.5.patch, HIVE-5976.6.patch, HIVE-5976.patch, > HIVE-5976.patch, HIVE-5976.patch, HIVE-5976.patch > > > As noted in HIVE-5783, we hard code the input formats mapped to keywords. > It'd be nice if there was a registration system so we didn't need to do that. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
