How about we revisit it after we release 2.0? For a `CatalogTable`, we
should always set schema, partition columns, bucketing columns, and sorting
columns no matter if we are dealing with a data source table or a table using
Hive's file format. We will do the necessary metadata conversion in
HiveExternalCatalog to workaround those Hive-specific problems.
