[SPARK-12682] Add support for (optionally) not storing tables in hive
metadata format
This PR adds a new table option (`skip_hive_metadata`) that'd allow the
user to skip storing the table metadata in hive metadata format. While this
could be useful in general, the specific use-case for this change is that Hive
doesn't handle wide schemas well (see
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-12682 and
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-6024) which in turn prevents such
tables from being queried in SparkSQL.
You can merge this pull request into a Git repository by running:
$ git pull https://github.com/sameeragarwal/spark skip-hive-metadata
Alternatively you can review and apply these changes as the patch at:
