-----------------------------------
Hi [~singhashish],
The patch looks good. Just one thing. The HIVE-10593 ticket is looking for a
way to infer a schema from different formats in Hive like your patch is doing
it. However, we are looking to make a syntax general for all formats, and also
[~lskuff] has an opinion about the use of the LOCATION keyword.
Could you give your opinion by commenting on HIVE-10593?

> PARQUET-76 and PARQUET-47 ask for creating parquet backed tables without
> having to specify the column names and types. As, parquet files store schema
> in their footer, it is possible to generate hive schema from parquet file's
> metadata. This will improve usability of parquet backed tables.
