Sergey Shelukhin created HIVE-14623:
---------------------------------------
Summary: add CREATE TABLE FROM FILE command for self-describing
formats
Key: HIVE-14623
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-14623
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Sergey Shelukhin
For self-describing formats like ORC, it should be possible to create a table
from a file without explicitly specifying the schema. It would be useful for
debugging, but also for all kinds of ad-hoc activities with data (and I bet
someone will also use it for ETL, sadly ;)).
The schema should be established in metastore as the final schema for the
table; it should not be an attached+derived schema, like for Avro.
