Hi All, Just wondering if someone can throw some light on the fact how are the column names and types are provided to Deserializer while creating table.
@Override public void initialize(Configuration conf, Properties tbl) throws SerDeException { } I understand that above accept that info - but my question will be how is this initialize() method getting invoked with Custom SerDe while executing query. create table my_table(a string, b string, ...) row format serde '..CustomSerde' stored as textfile ; Thanks -Ankit
