Prasanth Jayachandran commented on HIVE-11118:
----------------------------------------------
Agreed we should do this generically. Also for some formats like text, sequence
files that are not managed within hive its not possible to implement this
interface.
Created to HIVE-11120 for implementing generic file format validation
interface. Also a subtask for ORC to implement the interface (HIVE-11121).
> Load data query should valide file formats with destination tables

> Load data local inpath queries does not do any validation wrt file format. If
> the destination table is ORC and if we try to load files that are not ORC,
> the load will succeed but querying such tables will result in runtime
> exceptions. We can do some simple sanity checks to prevent loading of files
> that does not match the destination table file format.
