> ORC/Parquet/Avro files store strings in UTF-8 encoded bytes. However, text files can be in arbitrary encodings. Hive support specifying arbitrary encoding on text tables in the "serialization.encoding" table property (HIVE-7142). Impala is currently not aware of this table property and treate all strings as byte arrays. It's good to support at least reading from these text files.
> *Example*
> Create a text table in Hive using GBK encoding and load a GBK encoded text file into it: 
> {code:sql}
> hive> create table gbk_names (name string) stored as textfile tblproperties("serialization.encoding"="GBK");
> hive> load data local inpath '/home/quanlong/workspace/Impala/gbk_names.txt' into table gbk_names;
> hive> select * from gbk_names;

> Impala read strings as byte arrays so can't decode them correctly:

> impala-shell> invalidate metadata gbk_names;
> impala-shell> select * from gbk_names;
