Based on my understanding, we are consolidating the write path, including
providing a unified CREATE TABLE interface for both Hive serde tables and data
source tables. So far, this feature is not ready. More ongoing works are needed
before we can turn it on. If we do not block it, many bugs exist, since the
interface (e.g, SQL, DataFrameWriter APIs, and createExternalTable APIs), DDL
execution and metastore formats are still different.
Thus, blocking the `hive` format is needed until we can officially support
it. Let me know if my understanding is not right. cc @cloud-fan @yhuai
