> AvroSerDe allows one to skip the table-columns in a table-definition when 
> creating a table, as long as the TBLPROPERTIES includes a valid 
> {{avro.schema.url}} or {{avro.schema.literal}}. The table-columns are 
> inferred from processing the Avro schema file/literal.
> The problem is that the inferred schema might not be congruent with the 
> actual schema in the Avro schema file/literal. Consider the following table 
> definition:
> {code:sql}
> CREATE TABLE avro_schema_break_1
> ROW FORMAT
> SERDE 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.serde2.avro.AvroSerDe'
> STORED AS
> INPUTFORMAT 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.io.avro.AvroContainerInputFormat'

> systems where data could be produced externally to Hive. It also has 
> repercussions on table-replication using Falcon/GDM, in that the schema 
> file/literal needs to be replicated.
