Lefty Leverenz commented on HIVE-6806:
--------------------------------------

I added STORED AS AVRO to the DDL wikidoc:

* [Create Table -- see file_format (at the end of the syntax) | 
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/LanguageManual+DDL#LanguageManualDDL-CreateTable]
{code}
file_format:
  : SEQUENCEFILE
  ...
  | AVRO       (Note: Only available starting with Hive 0.14.0)
{code}
* [Row Format, Storage Format, and SerDe | 
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/LanguageManual+DDL#LanguageManualDDL-RowFormat,StorageFormat,andSerDe]
"Use STORED AS AVRO for Avro files in Hive 0.14.0 and later (see Avro SerDe)."

> CREATE TABLE should support STORED AS AVRO

> Avro is well established and widely used within Hive, however creating 
> Avro-backed tables requires the messy listing of the SerDe, InputFormat and 
> OutputFormat classes.
> Similarly to HIVE-5783 for Parquet, Hive would be easier to use if it had 
> native Avro support.
