Sergey Shelukhin commented on HIVE-11985: ----------------------------------------- I don't understand the (old) alter serde logic at all... it only sets fields if the new serde doesn't have metastore-based schema. That doesn't make any sense. > don't store type names in metastore when metastore type names are not used > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-11985 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-11985 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Sergey Shelukhin > Assignee: Sergey Shelukhin > Attachments: HIVE-11985.01.patch, HIVE-11985.02.patch, > HIVE-11985.03.patch, HIVE-11985.patch > > -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
