Review Comment:
   it seems that oldSD.getSerDeInfo() always be oldSerDeInfo

> The proposal is that we can reuse serde info as how we reuse column 
> descriptors. (HIVE-2246)
> Currently, we store the metadata for partitions as PARTITIONS (N partitions) 
> -> SDS (N locations) -> SERDES (N entries). However,  all the SERDES for the 
> partitions in a table are the same if we don't explicitly specify it. That 
> is, each storage descriptor has a associated and exclusive serde info, but 
> the partitions' serde infos are mostly just the same as the table's. By 
> reusing the serde info, we can save some database storage and enhance the 
> query performance from HMS to the backend database.
> For backward compatibility, we also need to introduce a config for this 
> feature because there will be issues if HMS old instance and HMS new instance 
> with this feature are running together. With this feature, we will need to 
> check if others reference the serdes before deleting it, but the old instance 
> will just delete it.
> The other thing we need to take care of is custom serdes. If a partition's 
> serde is modified, we need to create a new record in SERDES so that we don't 
> interfere other partitions.
