BELUGA BEHR commented on HIVE-18785:
------------------------------------
[~aihuaxu] some documentation still needs to be updated:
{quote}
*JSON*
ROW FORMAT SERDE
'org.apache.hive.hcatalog.data.JsonSerDe'
STORED AS TEXTFILE
Stored as plain text file in JSON format.
The JsonSerDe for JSON files is available in Hive 0.12 and later.
In some distributions, a reference to hive-hcatalog-core.jar is required.
{{ADD JAR /usr/lib/hive-hcatalog/lib/hive-hcatalog-core.jar;}}
