--------------------------------------

Yup, thanks for clarifying. That makes sense.

bq. I think its safe to attempt an update of serde prop schema.url irrespective 
of whether the user passes in the tableProp.

If the table or partition record is using the Haivvreo SerDe and has a 
schema.url property defined, then I agree that it's probably safe to update 
this field even if the user didn't specify it. However, one of the points Jakob 
made in his comment was that the name "schema.url" is pretty generic, and 
there's the chance that other SerDes may use the same key for other purposes. I 
think it would be safer all around to force the user to manually specify the 
serdeproperties and tableproperties that they want to update.
