> The proposal is that we can reuse serde info as how we reuse column
> descriptors. (HIVE-2246)
> Currently, we store the metadata for partitions as PARTITIONS (N partitions)
> -> SDS (N locations) -> SERDES (N entries). However, all the SERDES for the
> partitions in a table are the same if we don't explicitly specify it. That
> is, each storage descriptor has a associated and exclusive serde info, but
> the partitions' serde infos are mostly just the same as the table's. By
> reusing the serde info, we can save some database storage and enhance the
> query performance from HMS to the backend database.
> For backward compatibility, we also need to introduce a config for this
> feature because there will be issues if HMS old instance and HMS new instance
> with this feature are running together. With this feature, we will need to
> check if others reference the serdes before deleting it, but the old instance
> will just delete it.
> The other thing we need to take care of is custom serdes. If a partition's
> serde is modified, we need to create a new record in SERDES so that we don't
> interfere other partitions.
