    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PARQUET-76?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15085911#comment-15085911 ] 

Sergio Peña commented on PARQUET-76:
------------------------------------

It is not currently working on Hive. The feature is still under review, and with opinions about using a different SQL language on HIVE-10593

> Today we are not able to create a parquet based hive table without having to specify the column names and types. When we try to define it the following way, we get the error 
> "14/08/20 17:27:46 ERROR ql.Driver: FAILED: SemanticException [Error 10043]: Either list of columns or a custom serializer should be specified"
> {code:sql}
> CREATE  TABLE parquet_test

> Whereas if we create a hive table on top of AVRO based files, we do not need to specify the column names, hive automatically figures out the schema through the SerDe.
