> Support arbitrary encodings on Text files

> ORC/Parquet/Avro files store strings in UTF-8 encoded bytes. However, Text
> and Sequence files can be in arbitrary encodings. Hive supports specifying
> arbitrary encoding on tables using LazySimpleSerDe with the
> "serialization.encoding" table property (HIVE-7142). Impala is currently not
> aware of this table property and treate all strings as byte arrays. It's good
> to support at least reading from these text/sequence files.
> *Example*
> Create a text table in Hive using GBK encoding and load a GBK encoded text
> file into it:
> {code:sql}
> hive> create table gbk_names (name string) stored as textfile
> tblproperties("serialization.encoding"="GBK");
> hive> load data local inpath '/home/quanlong/workspace/Impala/gbk_names.txt'
> into table gbk_names;
> hive> select * from gbk_names;

> Impala read strings as byte arrays so can't decode them correctly:
> {code:sql}
> impala-shell> invalidate metadata gbk_names;
> impala-shell> select * from gbk_names;
