Thanks. I see this: CREATE INDEX index_name ON TABLE base_table_name (col_name, ...) AS index_type [WITH DEFERRED REBUILD] [IDXPROPERTIES (property_name=property_value, ...)] [IN TABLE index_table_name] [ [ ROW FORMAT ...] STORED AS ... | STORED BY ... ] [LOCATION hdfs_path] [TBLPROPERTIES (...)] [COMMENT "index comment"]
Sadly, there's no explanation what IDXPROPERTIES could be. It looks to be similar to TBLPROPERTIES, but that isn't documented well either.
