I would like to be able to read an Avro file as a Table in Hive.

I have looked at the documentation, but cannot see anything about how to extend 
Hive to other file types.

I don't want to control how to serialize a field, or a record individually.  I 
want to specify how to read from and write records/fields to an Avro file.

Where would I look for information on how to support a custom file format?

Thanks,

-Scott
