Gopal V commented on HIVE-9915:
-------------------------------
[~leftylev]: While reviewing Gunther's patch I ran into some questions which
the doc answered, but weren't obvious.
The quadrant of native vs non-native and external vs managed needs to be drawn
somehow for this to explain the feature in the docs.
|| \ || Native || Non-Native ||
| Managed | hive.default.fileformat.managed (or fall back to the other) | not
covered by default file-formats |
| External | hive.default.fileformat | not covered by default file-formats |
> Allow specifying file format for managed tables

> We already allow setting a system wide default format. In some cases it's
> useful though to specify this only for managed tables, or distinguish
> external and managed via two variables. You might want to set a more
> efficient (than text) format for managed tables, but leave external to text
> (as they often are log files etc.)
