Specify a SerDe for a partition

Hey guys,
is it possible, or are the plans of supporting, having a different serde at
a partition level ? It would be useful to support data format changes.
So when the serde is switched using ALTER TABLE, the new partitions will use
the new serde while the old ones will continue to use the old one.

R.
