[jira] [Commented] (HIVE-6756) alter table set fileformat should set serde too

["Ashutosh Chauhan (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-6756?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13993773#comment-13993773 ] 

Ashutosh Chauhan commented on HIVE-6756:
----------------------------------------

Sorry [~chinnalalam] for being late on this. My suggestion is:
1. Instead of setting LazySimpleSerde as default for all cases, set LazySimpleSerde only for TEXTFILE & SEQUENCE (similiar to RC, ORC etc.)
2. For Alter table set fileformat IF OF case, throw exception if user doesnt specify serde. ie if user is specifying IF & OF she must also specify serde.

> Currently doing alter table set fileformat doesn't change the serde. This is unexpected by customers because the serdes are largely file format specific.
