             Summary: Derive column definitions from a raw Parquet data file
                 Key: HIVE-10471
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-10471
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Mariano Dominguez


This feature will allow Hive to create Parquet-backed tables the same way 
Cloudera's Impala[1] does:

CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE ingest_existing_files LIKE PARQUET 
'/user/etl/destination/datafile1.dat'
  STORED AS PARQUET
  LOCATION '/user/etl/destination';

CREATE TABLE columns_from_data_file LIKE PARQUET 
'/user/etl/destination/datafile1.dat'
  STORED AS PARQUET;
